Canuto, V., C. Chiuderi, and C.K. Chou, 1970: Plasmon neutrinos emission in a strong magnetic field. II: Longitudinal plasmons. Astrophys. Space Sci., 7, 453-460, doi:10.1007/BF00649583.

The decay of a longitudinal plasmon into two neutrinos is studied in the presence of a strong magnetic field. Contrary to the transverse case, for longitudinal plasmons the existence of a new mode, entirely dependent on the magnetic field, greatly enhances the energy loss at high densities. Denoting by Q_H and Q_O the neutrino energy losses with and without magnetic field respectively, the situation is as follows: at H ≃ 10¹¹ G and T ≥ 10⁹K, Q_O ≫ 10⁵ Q_H for ρ < 10¹ g/cm³, while Q_H ≫ 10s¹⁰ Q_O for ρ > 10¹¹ g/cm³. A second physically interesting feature is the anisotropic character of the energy loss which is highly peaked along the field lines, giving rise to a shorter cooling time in that direction than in any other.
