Using recently calculated analytic and numerical models for the thermal structure of ultramagnetized neutron stars, we estimate the effects that ultrastrong magnetic fields B ≥10 14 G have on the thermal evolution of a neutron star. Understanding this evolution is necessary to interpret models that invoke "magnetars" to account for soft gamma-ray emission from some repeating sources.
