Scientific paper

We request a 40-ks ACIS-I exposure towards the soft gamma repeater SGR 1806-20. One of three known repeaters, SGR 1806-20, lies in the core of the amorphous radio nebula G 10.0-0.3. Its stochastic bursting action and variable radio activity have been hypothesised to be due to an ultramagnetized neutron star. So far, little is known about the SGR's quiescent X-ray counterpart discovered with ASCA due to lack of sensitive high-angular resolution observations. We argue that these observations will provide the critical insight (that radio work and past X-ray work could not) needed for better physical understanding of SGRs
