Scientific paper

Magnetars (AXPs and SGRs) go through long stretches of quiescence, interrupted by periods of activity, characterized by bursts and significant variability in flux, spectral shape, pulse shape, and pulsed fraction; they also exhibit glitches. Observations performed during, or immediately after such periods of high activity yield the largest amount of information, allowing to test the theoretical models on a variety of phenomena and source states. We propose a rapid ToO program aimed at gathering new physical insight on these sources, through the study of the very initial phases (within 10 days) of the outbursts of known or newly discovered magnetars.
