Scientific paper

SGR 0526-66 provided the key observations on which the magnetar model for SGRs and AXPs was constructed. This SGR will continue to play a central role (as shown by intensive observations with missions such as HST and ROSAT) given that it is not obscured (unlike the other four SGRs). We request a total of four observations (60 ksec, 3x20 ksec) of CXO time to observe SGR 0526-66 with ACIS-S with three goals in mind. [1] Confirm the possible 4.02-s period discovered in AO-1 observations. [2] Determine dP/dt, an essential physical parameter in any model for SGRs. [3] Possibly determine the maximum blackbody luminosity of a magnetar by taking advantage of the variability of the source. The superb spatial resolution of CXO is essential as this SGR is in the second brightest SNR in the LMC.
