The energy characteristics of a Thomas-Fermi atom of arbitrary ionization in a strong magnetic field are investigated theoretically, applying the statistical theory of Kadomtsev (1970) and the solutions of Dmitrieva and Plindov (1979) to the case where the quantity q = (1 - N/Z), with N being the number of electrons and Z the nuclear charge, is much less than 1. The binding energy, radius, and chemical potential of the atom are obtained as a power series in q(1/3) and ln q. The first expansion coefficients are estimated; numerical calculations are performed for different values of q; and good agreement with exact solutions is demonstrated in a table for q between zero and 0.2.
