Scientific paper

The magnetar model predicts that soft gamma repeaters may be born with high velocities, and SGR1900+14 appears to be an extreme example of this. Its transverse motion in fact appears to be so large that it can be measured by comparing a single Chandra observation to previous radio observations of this source. We have now conducted a 30 ksec observation of the source with Chandra. Data analysis is currently underway, and we will report on the latest results here.
