Scientific paper

Amplified gyromagnetic radiation at the proton cyclotron frequency is predicted for accreting, strongly magnetized neutron stars. This mechanism is restricted to low luminosity sources with a relatively cool emission region. Neutron stars accreting at 10 to the -13th solar masses per yr fulfill these conditions, and should be continuously observable in the UV band. X-ray pulsars are borderline cases which may or may not emit coherently. Typically a few percent of the accretion luminosity is radiated at frequencies close to the proton gyrofrequency in a coherently emitting source.
