Scientific paper

The dependence of the force of radiative braking of relativistic electrons and positrons on their energy is studied for different elementary processes of interaction: Thomson, Compton, and cyclotron scattering and birth of e± pairs. It is shown that these processes may exert significant influence on the acceleration of electrons and positrons by the electric field in the magnetospheres of active neutron stars. The possibility of generation of hard gamma-ray radiation as a result of the processes considered is discussed and some astrophysical implications are presented.
