  Based on the assumption that the QCD phase diagram gives a realistic picture
of hadronic and quark matter under different regimes, it is possible to claim
that a quark core may be present inside compact objects commonly named hybrid
neutron stars or even that a pure strange star may exist. In this work we
explore how the phase transition is modified by the presence of strong magnetic
fields and how it is impacted by parameters of the quark phase, for which we
use the MIT-model with vector interactions. The phase transition is assumed to
conserve flavor when hadrons turn into deconfined quarks. The hadronic equation
of state is calculated with the NL3$\omega\rho^\ast$ parametrization of quantum
hadrodynamics. We find that the magnetic field slightly reduces the pressure
and chemical potential of the phase transition and the latent heat, the latter
being very model dependent.
