Scientific paper

X-rays scattering with an electron in the first Landau level are converted into gamma-rays if the electron goes to the ground state. The cross section for this process is larger than the cross section for scattering with ground-state electrons. For the fluxes observed in gamma-ray bursts, the population of electrons and positrons in the first Landau level is often large enough to remove all blackbody X-rays produced at the surface of a neutron star.
