| dc.description | Soft gamma-ray repeaters (SGRs) and Anomalous X-ray pulsars (AXPs) are generally accepted to be magnetars. Recently, Zhang, Xu & Qiao (2000, ApJ, 545, L127) proposed an alternative viewpoint about the nature of the SGRs (and AXPs). In this picture, SGR bursts are attributed to the impacts of some comet-like objects with the central bare strange star. Here I briefly review this model, and confront it with the detailed observations of SGRs/AXPs. A comparison to the magnetar model is also presented. Some theoretical issues concerning the nature of the SGRs (and AXPs) are discussed. | |
