Abstract

It is pointed out that because of possibly large radiative corrections, the mass and magnetic moment of an electron in the presence of magnetic fields above $10^{13}$ G, which may be present in pulsars, are unknown. Calculations of ionization energies of atoms in such fields may therefore be meaningless unless the quantum-electrodynamic corrections are included.
