Soft Gamma-ray Repeaters Sporadic activity in soft gamma-rays 4 SGRs are known (SGR 0526-66, SGR 1900+14, SGR 1627-41, SGR 1806-20) Giant Flashes followed long pulsating tail (period 5 – 8 seconds) Magnetars = Neutron star with intense magnetic field (> 1014 G) Close to the Earth (6-55 Kpc)

Before start: Can be Giant Flash from SGR detected from distance about 30 Mpc? Is it enough SGRs within 30 Mpc? Can be detected Pulsating Tail of distant SGR?
Before start: Can be Giant Flash from SGR detected from distance about 30 Mpc? YES Is it enough SGRs within 30 Mpc? YES
Can be detected Pulsating Tail of distant SGR??? The tail energy is the same for all Giant Flashes from SGRs registered The ratio of Main Spike of Giant Flashes to the amplitude of pulsation in the tail is varying between 40 and 600 The amplitude of pulsation depends on geometry, and does not depend on Main Spike For bright short GRB of BATSE the tail may be detected!

First direct connection of SGR and Short GRB Conclusions First direct connection of SGR and Short GRB Bright galaxy with intensive star formation should be searched within error-box of GRB with (pulsating) tail One can estimate distances to Short GRBs which manifest the pulsating tail Swift will be able to detect pulsating tale of Short GRB >~ three times more efficiently
