The steep high energy cutoff observed in the spectrum for Her X-1 was analyzed in terms of the severely modified Thomson scattering that dominates the radiative transfer in a highly magnetized plasma near the surface of a neutron star. The data indicate a field of about 1013 G near the magnetic poles and the stopping of accreting matter by nuclear collisions in the neighboring plasma.
