Scientific paper

We propose a series of three monitoring observations of the persistent emission from SGR1627-41 with CXO, to study the evolution of its persistent flux emission. A source detection (at a constant or a decaying trend) would probe heating and cooling dynamics of magnetars at a far more sensitive level than has been done in the past. An upper limit of 6.3x10e(-15) erg/cm^2 s would imply that its persistent emission is more than 1000 times lower than that of typical magnetars and would identify the tip of a much larger `iceberg' of magnetars that have escaped detection until now; our observations may even provide the first direct link between SGRs and Dim Isolated Neutron Stars (whose luminosities SGR1627-41 seems to be approaching pretty fast).
