Scientific paper

The cyclotron resonance of electron scattering cross-section is shown to decrease the value of critical luminosity of neutron star below the classical Eddington limit corresponding to Thomson scattering. If the radiative flux prevails over a critical one, the instability of the photospheric boundary in forms of ejection or MHD-pulsations might be evolved, giving rise to the generation of hard gamma-photons and relativistic particles.
