Caption: Figure 1.

Schematic illustration of the impact between an asteroid and a magnetar. The asteroid gets elongated after entering R_b and further accreted along field lines within R_A. An instant accretion column is formed after collision onto the magnetar surface, producing a Comptonized X-ray burst and an FRB in the magnetosphere.
