Statistical Properties of SGR 1806-20 BurstsWe find that the fluence distribution of bursts observed with each instrument are well described by power laws with indices 1.43, 1.67 and 1.76 respectively. The distribution of time intervals between successive bursts from SGR 1806-20 is described by a lognormal function with peak at 97 s. There is no correlation between burst intensity and either the waiting times till the next burst or the time elapsed since the previous burst, We find a correlation between the duration and fluence of the bursts, but with substantial scatter. In all these statistical properties, SGR bursts resemble self-organized critical systems, such as earthquakes and solar flares. Our results thus support the hypothesis that the energy source for SGR bursts is crustquakes due to the magnetic field of the neutron star, rather than any accretion- or nuclear-power.
