Triggers of magnetar outbursts
Robert C. Duncan
Bright outbursts from Soft Gamma Repeaters (SGRs) and Anomalous X-ray Pulsars (AXPs) are believed to be caused by instabilities in ultramagnetized neutron stars, powered by a decay…
The BeppoSAX View on the 2001 Reactivation of SGR 1900+14
M. Feroci, S. Mereghetti, E. Costa +13
After a couple of years of quiescence, the soft gamma repeater SGR 1900+14 suddenly reactivated on 18 April 2001, with the emission of a very intense, long and modulated flare, onl…
Nature, Nurture or Not Sure? A Debate about SGRs and AXPs
R. C. Duncan
Marsden, Lingenfelter, Rothschild & Higdon have given arguments against the magnetar model for Soft Gamma Repeaters (SGRs) and Anomalous X-ray Pulsars (AXPs), as forcefully advocat…
Temporal and Spectral Characteristics of Short Bursts from the Soft Gamma Repeaters 1806-20 and 1900+14
Ersin Gogus, Chryssa Kouveliotou, Peter M. Woods +3
We study the temporal and coarse spectral properties of 268 bursts from SGR 1806-20 and 679 bursts from SGR 1900+14, all observed with the Rossi X-Ray Timing Explorer/Proportional…
Gamma-Ray Bursts from Extragalactic Magnetar Flares
Robert C. Duncan
The prototype for events that we call MFs - "March Fifth" events or "Magnetar Flares" - was observed on March 5, 1979. There is evidence that MFs are powered by catastrophic magnet…
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…
