Scientific paper

Two of the three known Soft Gamma Repeaters (SGRs) were observed in the X-ray energy band with ASCA. During the monitoring of SGR 1806-20 in 1993, ASCA had detected a burst together with the persistent component: AX 1805.7-2025. The burst was the only case observed in the extremely soft X-ray energy band of 1-10 keV. Despite the reduction of the burst activity in 1995, compared with that in 1993, there was no obvious change in the persistent component. The X-ray candidate counterpart of SGR 0525-66 (RX 0525-6607) in N49 was also observed with ASCA, but we did not detect any hard X-ray component besides the ordinary SNR spectrum.
