Scientific paper

Soft Gamma Repeaters are rare sources of transient burst emission, probably magnetars (i.e. strongly magnetized neutron stars). Each of the SGRs has a persistent X-ray counterpart and some show coherent pulsations. During burst active phases, these counterparts undergo changes in their energy spectrum and pulse properties. Measuring the effects of burst activity are diagnostic of the burst mechanism and SGRs in general. In the event of detection of substantial burst activity from an SGR, we propose to make Chandra ToO observations of any of the four known sources, SGR 1900+14, SGR 1806-20, SGR 1627-41, SGR 0526-66, the SGR candidate SGR 1801-23, as well as any newly discovered SGR source.
