 abstract = {We investigate the luminosity and cooling of highly magnetized white
dwarfs with electron-degenerate cores and non-degenerate surface layers
where cooling occurs by diffusion of photons. We find the temperature
and density profiles in the surface layers or envelope of white dwarfs
by solving the magnetostatic equilibrium and photon diffusion equations
in a Newtonian framework. We also obtain the properties of white dwarfs
at the core-envelope interface, when the core is assumed to be
practically isothermal. With the increase in magnetic field, the
interface temperature increases whereas the interface radius decreases.
For a given age of the white dwarf and for fixed interface radius or
interface temperature, we find that the luminosity decreases
significantly from about 10(-6) to 10(-9) L-circle dot as the magnetic
field strength increases from about 10(9) to 10(12) G at the interface
and hence the envelope. This is remarkable because it argues that
magnetized white dwarfs are fainter and can be practically hidden in an
observed Hertzsprung-Russell diagram. We also find the cooling rates
corresponding to these luminosities. Interestingly, the decrease in
temperature with time, for the fields under consideration, is not found
to be appreciable.},
