Abstract

Fast magnetic dissipation powers the bursting activity of isolated neutron stars, merging neutron stars, and flares from black holes. Four mechanisms of fast dissipation can operate in the magnetospheres of compact objects: Alfvenic turbulent cascade, magnetic reconnection, collision of Alfvén waves, and monsters shocks. Radiation produced by these dissipation modes is controlled by the compactness parameter. The main radiative output is usually in X-rays; in some cases, radio bursts are produced.
