There is good evidence that the soft gamma repeaters (SGRs) are magnetars objects in which the magnetic field energy dominates all other energy sources including rotation. This implies that they possess the strongest known magnetic fields in the universe (10^15 G). SGRs go through phases of intense activity during which they may emit hundreds of bursts within a period of weeks to months. During those periods they exhibit properties which are quite different from their quiescent properties. Their strong magnetic fields are probably mainly responsible for these changes and accordingly it is interesting to study them intensely at these times. We propose to continue our successful AO-1-5 proposals and request two ToO observations of any of the known or of any newly discovered SGRs during their active phases. We request that the ToO take place within one month of the trigger. For clarity we have filled out one observation form for each of the known SGRs for one suspected SGR and for one unknown SGR. Our total request however is for just TWO 240 ksec ToOs. [truncated! Please see actual data for full text]
