Abstract
In this paper, the incoherent synchrotron radiation power emitted by relativistic electrons gyrating in a cold magnetoactive plasma is rederived, correcting errors which have occurred in the past literature. One can specify the background plasma by the quantity A = ωp2/ωH2 (ωp is the angular electron plasma frequency and ωH is the angular electron gyro-frequency), i.e. the relative importance of the plasma frequency to the gyro-frequency. The general spectral features of synchrotron radiation from single electrons radiating in plasmas of large [Formula: see text] and small [Formula: see text] are discussed with the aid of a number of numerical examples.
