Description
Neutron stars (NSs) represent exceptional astrophysical laboratories, exhibiting extreme magnetic fields and dynamic magnetospheres that drive diverse high-energy phenomena such as giant flares in magnetars. In this talk, I will discuss my research on driving giant flares from non-spinning neutron stars via twisting of magnetic field footpoints, simulated with my new hybrid forcefree-(general relativistic) magnetohydrodynamics code H-AMR. I will focus on the production and evolution of a hot inner magnetosphere (called the 'fireball') and a magnetized bubble, which is one of the leading progenitors of Fast Radio Bursts.
