Outline of Final Research Achievements

It is thought that slow motion at the magnetar surface on a secular timescale twists its exterior magnetosphere, and a burst occurs when the state exceeds a threshold. A family of static solutions for the magnetosphere is studied. It is found that general relativistic effect importantly enhances the maximum magnetic energy stored in the magnetosphere. Formation of a magnetic flux rope plays a key role there.
Black hole magnetosphere is also studied in term of two-fluid plasma model. The mechanism of out-going energy flux is demonstrated, but the amount decreases with plasma density.
