Scientific paper

I reconsider the radiative transfer problem in highly magnetized regimes, and I present computed spectra from static atmospheres around accreting neutron stars, with high magnetic field B > 1012 G) and low luminosity ( L < 1033 erg/s). With increasing the magnetic field, the hard tail found in previous investigations for accreting, non-magnetic neutron stars with comparable luminosity is partially suppressed. At variance with what happens for a cooling neutron star, spectra from accreting atmospheres, both with high and low fields, are found to exhibit a significant excess at optical wavelengths above the Rayleigh-Jeans tail of the X-ray continuum.
