Electromagnetic emission from blitzars and its impact on non-repeating fast radio bursts — •Elias R. Most Most, Antonios Nathanail, and Luciano Rezzolla — Johann Wolfgang Goethe-Universität, Frankfurt am Main
Fast Radio Bursts are short emissions of extragalactic origin with an energy of ≈1038−40 erg. Although several theoretical models exist, the exact mechanism of their production is still unknown. This talk investigates the possibility of modelling Fast Radio Bursts with the gravitational collapse of magnetised neutron stars through resistive general relativistic magnetohydrodynamic (GRMHD) simulations. The electromagnetic emission is studied using several initial neutron star models with rotation periods ranging from 1.5 – 100 ms.
