Scientific paper

The Soft Gamma-Ray Repeaters (SGR) are sources of brief intense outbursts of low energy gamma rays. Most likely they are a new manifestation of neutron stars. In this paper, we explore Compton scattering models for the bursts. We use a BATSE SGR 1900+14 burst to show that Comptonization by a thermal plasma alone is unable to explain the shape of the burst spectrum, but that adding a small but significant fraction of non-thermal plasma produces an acceptable fit.
