The cyclotron and the one-photon annihilation emissions are investigated for a strongly magnetized thermal electron-positron plasmas. The annihilation spectral component is significant when the particle number density N exceeds some critical value, Ncr(T,B). For T ~ 108 − 109 K and B ~ 1012 − 1013 G, this condition can be fulfilled at N < 1022 cm−3, which is realistic for neutron star magnetospheres.
