Comparative study of the inial spikes of SGR giant flares in 1998 and 2004 observed with GEOTAIL: Do magnetospheric instabilities trigger large scale fracturing of magnetar's crust? (2007)

Tanaka, Y. T., Terasawa, T., Kawai, N., Yoshida, A., Yoshikawa, I., Saito, Y., ...

We present the unsaturated peak profile of SGR 1900+14 giant flare on 1998 August 27. This was obtained by particle counters of the Low Energy Particle instrument onboard the GEOTAIL spacecraft. The...

GEOTAIL observation of SGR 1900+14 giant flare on 27 August 1998 (2006)

Tanaka, Y. T.

The soft gamma repeater (SGR) 1900+14 emitted the giant flare on 27 August 1998. Most gamma-ray detectors saturated during the initial spike of the giant flare because of the intense flux. However...
