Astrophysics of the Soft Gamma Repeaters and Anomalous X-Ray Pulsars
Christopher Thompson
I summarize the recent advances in our understanding of the Soft Gamma Repeaters: in particular their spin behavior, persistent emission and hyper-Eddington outbursts. The giant fl…
An Unusual Burst from Soft Gamma Repeater SGR 1900+14: Comparisons with Giant Flares and Implications for the Magnetar Model
Alaa I. Ibrahim, Tod E. Strohmayer, Peter M. Woods +6
The Soft Gamma Repeater SGR 1900+14 entered a remarkable phase of activity during the summer of 1998. This activity peaked on August 27, 1998 when a giant periodic gamma-ray flare…
Statistical properties of SGR 1806-20 bursts
Ersin Gogus, Peter M. Woods, Chryssa Kouveliotou +4
We present statistics of SGR 1806-20 bursts, combining 290 events detected with RXTE/PCA, 111 events detected with BATSE and 134 events detected with ICE. We find that the fluence…
