Magnetar Observations in the Fermi Era

NASA s Fermi Observatory was launched June 11, 2009; the Fermi Gamma Ray Burst Monitor (GBM) began normal operations on July 14, about a month after launch, when the trigger algorithms were enabled. In the first 8 months of operations we recorded emission of three magnetar sources; of these, only one was an old magnetar: SGR 1806+20. The other two detections were: SGR J0501+4516, newly discovered with Swift and extensively monitored with both Swift and GBM, and SGR J1550-5418, a source originally classified as an Anomalous X-ray Pulsar (AXP). I report below on the current status of the analyses efforts of all these GBM data sets, combined with data from other satellites (Spitzer, RXTE, Chandra, Swift).
