Abstract: | The influence of the effect of entrainment of superconducting protons by superfluid neutrons on the distribution of neutron
vortices in a rotating neutron star is investigated. It is shown that the proton vortex clusters generated by entrainment
currents create the magnetic structure of a neutron vortex. The average magnetic field induction in a neutron vortex is calculated.
The presence of the magnetic field of a neutron vortex considerably alters the radius of the vortex zone. The width of the
vortex-free zone at the surface of the neutron star’s core increases, reaching macroscopic values on the order of several
meters. This result considerably changes earlier concepts of the distribution of neutron vortices in a neutron star.
