On the other hand. since all-back discs are expected to play a role in the evolution of stars in the mass range 3045M... it is tempting to speculate that the crustal field component that characterises he magnetars may have its origin in the interaction of the all-back clise with the magnetic field of the stellar core. in cases where a magnetar is the outcome of stellar evolution.
On the other hand, since fall-back discs are expected to play a role in the evolution of stars in the mass range $\sim 20 - 45\Msun$, it is tempting to speculate that the crustal field component that characterises the magnetars may have its origin in the interaction of the fall-back disc with the magnetic field of the stellar core, in cases where a magnetar is the outcome of stellar evolution.
If this is the case. one would expect that most of the mass in the fall-back clise would be magnetically ejected.
