ABSTRACT

Lodenquai et al. 1974

Lodenquai, J., V. Canuto, M. Ruderman, and S. Tsuruta, 1974: Photon opacity in surfaces of magnetic neutron stars. Astrophys. J., 190, 141-152.

Approximate expressions are derived for free-free, bound-free, and Thomson cross-sections of photons by gaseous matter in the presence of superstrong magnetic fields. For photons in modes whose electric field polarization is perpendicular to this magentic field, the cross-section is reduced by approximately the squared ration of the photo frequency to the electron cyclotron frequency if this ratio is small.
