Abstract
The possibility of observing atomic lines in the x-ray spectra of strongly magnetized accreting neutron stars is discussed. For magnetic field strengths ranging from - G, both the energies and oscillator strengths of Fe XXVI lines are calculated quantitatively. These lines are expected to be highest in energy, and should dominate at source temperatures keV.
