Scientific paper

SGR 1806-20 has recently emitted the most powerful Giant Flare ever observed from a Soft Gamma-ray Repeater. This involved a large scale restructuring of the magnetosphere leading to observable variations in the properties of its persistent X-ray emission. Comparison of the pre-flare XMM-Newton observations with two recent TOO pointings support a magnetar scenario in which the effects of a twisted magnetosphere are considered. We propose to continue the monitoring of SGR 1806-20 to study the long term effects of the Giant Flare and how the source evolves toward quiescence after this "once-in-a-lifetime" event.
