Reactivation and Precise IPN Localization of the Soft Gamma Repeater SGR1900+14
arXiv:astro-ph/9811411 · doi:10.1086/311821
Abstract
In 1998 May, the soft gamma repeater SGR1900+14 emerged from several years of quiescence and emitted a series of intense bursts, one with a time history unlike any previously observed from this source. Triangulation using Ulysses, BATSE, and KONUS data give a 1.6 square arcminute error box near the galactic supernova remnant G42.8+0.6. This error box contains a quiescent soft X-ray source which is probably a neutron star associated with the soft repeater.
