Problems of radiation in a magnetized, incompressible plasma are investigated. The radiation characteristics of a line source of magnetic current are studied for the case in which the external magnetic field is infinite and oriented in a direction perpendicular to that of the source. A second problem treated is the radiation from a uniformly moving line charge. Two cases arc considered, namely those in which the motion of the line charge is parallel or perpendicular to the direction of the external magnetic field. In each case it is found that there is a Cerenkov-type radiation for frequencies less than the plasma frequency. The frequency and the angular spectrum, as well as the total energy radiated per unit path length, are determined for both cases. (auth)
