Quiet but still bright:XMM-Newtonobservations of the soft gamma-ray repeater SGR 0526-66
2009
Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society: Letters
SGR 0526-66 was the first soft gamma-ray repeater (SGR) from which a giant flare was detected in March 1979, suggesting the existence of magnetars, i.e. neutron stars powered by the decay of their extremely strong magnetic field. Since then, very little information has been obtained on this object, mainly because it has been burst-inactive since 1983 and the study of its persistent X-ray emission has been hampered by its large distance and its location in a X-ray bright supernova remnant in the
