We study the v\bar v\-pair emission from electrons and protons in a relativistic quantum approach. In this work we calculate the luminosity of the v\bar v\-pairs emitted from neutron-star-matter with a strong magnetic field, and find that this luminosity is much larger than that in the modified Urca process. The v\bar v\-pair emission processes in strong magnetic fields significantly contribute to the cooling of the magnetars.
