Scientific paper

Quantized magnetic bremsstrahlung radiation in intense magnetic fields from the surface layers of neutron stars is explored as a possible gamma-ray burst mechanism. Expressions for electron population parameters in a magnetic field and electron transition energies at a neutron star surface are obtained and found to be consistent with the observed emission and absorption features in the gamma-ray burst spectra. It is suggested that bursts are the results of some sudden process of heating of electrons at the surface of neutron stars by magnetic instabilities leading to a balance with radiative losses, a process that may be made possible by the large amounts of magnetic energy available.
