Scientific paper

SGR 0501+4516 (ATEL #1675, #1676, #1677, #1678, #1682) has declined in activity. There have been no reported bursts in 43 hours, compared to the previous period with 56 bursts in 87 hours and a largest gap of 8 hours. Due to the unpredictable nature of these objects, this does not necessarily imply that it has returned to a multi-year (or even multi-day) quiescent stage. As of the latest available Swift-BAT data, 2008-08-27 22:40 UT, the most recent reported burst from the SGR was detected by Konus- Wind on 2008-08-26 at 03:16:15 (Konus-Wind team, private communication.) The most recent BAT detection was about 8 hours earlier.
