Scientific paper

During and following epochs of burst activity in Soft Gamma Repeaters (SGRs), we have observed brightening of their persistent X-ray emission. On four occasions thus far in SGR 1900+14, observed flux increases or tails of X-ray emission directly follow energetic bursts from the source. Here, I will summarize what we know about the spectral and temporal properties of these X-ray tails and draw comparisons between the four events. The changes in flux, source spectrum, pulsed fraction, and pulse shape will be presented. I will also briefly discuss efforts being made to understand their physical origin.
