An exceptionally bright flare from SGR1806-20 and the origins of short-duration gamma-ray bursts
K. Hurley, S. E. Boggs, D. M. Smith +17
Soft-gamma-ray repeaters (SGRs) are galactic X-ray stars that emit numerous short-duration (about 0.1 s) bursts of hard X-rays during sporadic active periods. They are thought to b…
The Giant Flare of 1998 August 27 from SGR 1900+14: I. An Interpretive Study of BeppoSAX and Ulysses Observations
M. Feroci, K. Hurley, R. Duncan +1
The giant flare of 1998 August 27 from SGR 1900+14 was extraordinary in many ways: it was the most intense flux of gamma rays ever detected from a source outside our solar system;…
Timing Noise in SGR 1806-20
Peter M. Woods, Chryssa Kouveliotou, Mark H. Finger +9
We have phase connected a sequence of RXTE PCA observations of SGR 1806-20 covering 178 days. We find a simple secular spin-down model does not adequately fit the data. The period…
BeppoSAX and Ulysses data on the giant flare from SGR 1900+14
M. Feroci, K. Hurley, R. Duncan +3
The extraordinary giant flare of 1998 August 27 from SGR 1900+14 was the most intense event ever detected from this or any other cosmic source (even more intense than the famous Ma…
