Positron-electron pair densities for a thermal plasma in the steady-state equilibrium where pair production balances pair annihilation are found as a function of temperature kT/mc2<~1 source size R and magnetic field strength B. When the plasma is strongly magnetized, B>~1012 G, the important processes are synchrotron radiation, one-photon (magnetic) pair production and two-photon pair annihilation. An analytic solution for the equilibrium pair density, found under certain simplifying assumptions, shows that optically thin equilibria exist only for sufficiently small source sizes.
