Scientific paper

Among gamma ray bursters, the Soft Gamma Repeaters (SRGs) constitute a particular class characterized by short periods of intense activity and long quiet periods lasting at least 1 year. The behavior of SGR 1806-21, watched during about 7 years, was studied in detail. The detection, by the Soviet-French Apex experiment, of 6 soft bursts with characteristics identical to SRG repetitions is reported. It is shown that these observations argue in favor of a persistent SRG type activity. The implications of these detections for SRG observations with future missions are considered.
