Hard Burst Emission from the Soft Gamma Repeater SGR 1900+14 Open
We present evidence for burst emission from SGR 1900+14 with a power-law high energy spectrum extending beyond 500 keV. Unlike previous detections of high energy photons during bursts from SGRs, these emissions are not associated with high…

Physical Mechanisms for the Variable Spin‐down and Light Curve of SGR 1900+14 Open
We consider the physical implications of the rapid spin-down of soft gamma repeater SGR 1900+14 reported by Woods and colleagues in 1999. During an 80 day interval between 1998 June and the large outburst on 1998 August 27, the mean spin-d…
