Fireball/Blastwave Model and Soft Gamma-ray Repeaters
arXiv:astro-ph/9810449 · doi:10.1088/0256-307X/15/10/028
Abstract
Soft gamma-ray repeaters are at determined distances and their positions are known accurately. If observed, afterglows from their soft gamma-ray bursts will provide important clues to the study of the so called "classical gamma-ray bursts". On applying the popular fireball/blastwave model of classical gamma-ray bursts to soft gamma-ray repeaters, it is found that their X-ray and optical afterglows are detectable. Monitoring of the three repeaters is solicited.
