<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px">The analysis of Quasi Periodic
Oscillations (QPOs) in Magnetars provided the first application of
<br>
Asteroseismology in neutron stars. These oscillations are likely
identified with magneto-elastic <br>
waves which originate from the giant flares. </span><span
style="letter-spacing: 0.0px">Recent cooling calculations show
that heat generated <br>
by magnetic field decay does not prevent the superfluid transition
of the magnetar’s core. </span><br>
This means that realistic models of magnetars should include
superfluid/superconducting <br>
constituents in order to extract information from QPO observations.
<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px">In this talk, I report our <br>
results on the oscillation spectrum of superfluid and magnetised
neutron stars and the implications <br>
of superfluid physics on the QPOs.<br>
