Scientific paper

It is known that very strong (greater than 1-TG) magnetic fields exist on the surface of some neutron stars. The properties of atoms in fields of this nature are considerably different from those of atoms in field-free regions. Because of the mixing of spherical and cylindrical symmetries, the analytical solution to the problem of a hydrogen atom in a uniform magnetic field is impossible to obtain. In this work, a variational wave function is used to describe the properties of hydrogen like atoms in intense magnetic fields including first-order relativistic effects. Special attention is given to the transition matrix elements for the 2p(0) - 1s(0) transition in Fe XXVI.
