Annotation

An expression for the neutrino luminosity of a degenerate electron gas in a strong magnetic field via plasmon decay to a neutrino pair due to electromagnetic neutrino moments is derived. The neutrino luminosity of the medium in an electromagnetic reaction channel is shown to be comparable with the luminosity in a weak channel. The relative upper bounds for the effective magnetic neutrino moment are obtained.
