We provide the relevant formulae for electromagnetic transitions in strong magnetic fields, and apply them to the hydrogen atom. For magnetic field strengths in the range 2.35 x 10/sup 11/ to 4.7 x 10/sup 12/ gauss, which are characteristic of neutron stars, we calculate dipole strengths, oscillator strengths, sum rules, asymptotic formulae, transition probabilities, lifetimes, and intensities.
