Abstract Magnetars are cosmic sources of high energy radiations that emit short, intense bursts of X-rays and -rays. Studying the spectral and temporal properties of these bursts allows us to identify the physical mechanism responsible for their emission and to probe the interaction of radiation and matter at extreme conditions of temperature, gravity, and magnetic field that cannot be reproduced in laboratories or particle accelerators. Using the data obtained from NASA archives, We study burst observations from SGR 1806-20 in order to investigate the spectral and temporal characteristics of the source and examine possible correlations between the spectral and temporal properties of the bursts. In search for the best-fit models of the burst continuum, we study the bursts with ten trial models. We examine possible correlations between the spectral and temporal parameters of the best-fit models. In our analysis, we classify the bursts according to their temporal profile to single-peak, multi-peak & multi-bursts and according to their duration to short and long burst classes and we study each class separately. We discuss the physical interpretation of the results and its implications on the magnetar properties and structure in the context of the magnetar model. |
