An analytic method is developed for treating Compton scattering of soft photons by relativistic electrons beamed along the direction of strong magnetic fields. As shown by Daugherty and Harding, the dominant process is the magnetic Compton scattering with the scattered electron both initially and finally in the ground-state Landau level. Interactions involving both resonant and nonresonant parts of the magnetic cross section lead to spectra deficient in X-rays, compared with nonmagnetic Compton-scattered spectra. This is proposed as the reason for the observed paucity of X-rays in gamma-ray burst spectra.
