Scientific paper

Thermal conductivity due to Thomson scattering and free-free absorption of photons is numerically evaluated for a non-relativistic non-degenerate plasma in a magnetic field for a number of values of b = hwB/kT ~ 1000. In the case of pure scattering, simple fitting formulae are derived. At b >> 6, the magnetic field is shown to decrease (by about one order) the charac- teristic densities above which heat transfer is mainly determined by free-free transitions
