Expressions are derived for the scattering and absorption cross sections of photons in a hot plasma including the effects of vacuum polarization in a strong magnetic field. Near the cyclotron resonance, these expressions depart significantly from previous cold plasma calculations. An approximate calculation of the radiative transfer is presented, and cyclotron absorption and emission-line fits are compared. This simplified transfer model suggests that an emission-line interpretation is slightly more probable at this stage.
