The Growth, Polarization, and Motion of the Radio Afterglow from the Giant Flare from SGR 1806-20
The extraordinary giant flare (GF) of 2004 December 27 from the soft gamma repeater SGR 1806-20 was followed by a bright radio afterglow. We present an analysis of VLA observations of this radio afterglow from SGR 1806-20, consisting of previously reported 8.5 GHz data covering days 7-20 after the GF, …
