Abstract
We present photoionization spectra at optical wavelengths for hydrogen in strong parallel electric and magnetic fields for magnetic white dw arfs obtained with the complex coordinate method. It is shown that spe ctra calculated for fixed magnetic and electric fields can be averaged over a distribution of electric fields. Such averaged spectra are pre sented for fixed magnetic field with a Holtsmark distribution of elect ric fields at wavelengths around 580 nm interesting for a stationary l ine at 23 500 T.
