Scientific paper

In late 2003 SGR1806-20 gradually entered an active phase displaying an increase in both the burst rate and persistent emission, and culminating on December 2004 with the most powerful giant flare ever observed from a soft gamma-ray repeater. The event was followed by a gradual recovery of a flux level close to the pre-flare values. The latest XMM-Newton observation (September 2006) showed that the decreasing luminosity trend has been interrupted, possibly in connection with the recent onset of a new period of intense bursting activity. Presently it is not clear if the re-brightening is an oscillation around an equilibrium luminosity level, or the start of a new cycle of increasing activity.
