SGR 1806-20 Is a Set of Independent Relaxation Systems
نویسنده
چکیده
The Soft Gamma Repeater 1806-20 produced patterns of bursts during its 1983 outburst that indicate multiple independent energy accumulation sites, each driven by a continuous power source, with sudden, incomplete releases of the accumulated energy. The strengths of the power sources and their durations of activity vary over several orders of magnitude. Subject headings: gamma-rays:bursts — stars:individual (SGR 1806-20)

متن کاملPrecise Chandra Localization of the Soft Gamma - ray Repeater SGR 1806 − 20
We present observations of the Soft γ-ray Repeater SGR 1806−20 taken with the Chandra X-ray Observatory. We identify the X-ray counterpart of SGR 1806−20 based on detection of 7.5-s pulsations. Using three unrelated X-ray sources (and USNO stars) as position references, we are able to determine that the SGR is at α2000 = 18 0839. 32 and δ2000 = −2
متن کاملLognormal Properties of SGR 1806-20 and Implications for Other SGR Sources
The time interval between successive bursts from SGR 1806-20 and the intensity of these bursts are both consistent with lognormal distributions. Monte Carlo simulations of lognormal burst models with a range of distribution parameters have been investigated. The main conclusions are that while most sources like SGR 1806-20 should be detected in a time interval of 25 years, sources with means ab...

متن کاملMassive Stars in the Sgr 1806−20 Cluster
We report the discovery of additional hot and massive stars in the cluster surrounding the soft gamma repeater SGR 1806−20, based upon UKIRT and Keck near-infrared spectroscopy. Of the newly identified stars, three are Wolf-Rayet stars of types WC8, WN6, and WN7, and a fourth star is an OB supergiant. These three stars, along with four previously discovered, imply a cluster age of∼3.04.5 Myr, b...
