Abstract
We obtain the energy spectrum for the 14 lowest states of the hydrogen atom in a strong magnetic field B. Emphasis is placed on values of B106-108 G, characteristic of those found in magnetic white dwarfs. Our results for the ionization energy of the ground state are significantly better than those of Cohen, Lodenquai, and Ruderman for fields 7×1011 G. © 1972 The American Physical Society.
