Scientific paper

AXPs and SGRs are believed to be magnetars, ultra-magnetised neutron stars powered by huge magnetic fields. They are characterized by bursts, glitches, signicant variability in flux, spectral shape, pulse shape, pulsed fraction. They go through long stretches of quiescence, interrupted by periods of activity. Observations performed during, or immediately after such periods yield the largest amount of information on magnetars' emission, allowing to test the theoretical models on a variety of phenomena and source states. We propose a rapid ToO program aimed at gathering new physical insight on these sources, through the study of the very initial phases (within 10 days) of the outbursts of known or newly discovered magnetars.
