Description: SGR 1627-41 was discovered in 1998 after a single active episode which lasted approx. 6 weeks. We report here our monitoring results of the decay trend of the persistent X-ray luminosity of the source during the last 5 years. We find an initial temporal power law decay with index 0.47, reaching a piateau which is followed by a sharp (factor of ten) flux decline approx. 800 days after the source activation. The source spectrum is best described during the entire period by a single power law with high absorption (N(sub H) = 9.0(7) x 10(exp 22)/sq cm); the spectral index, however, varies dramatically between 2.2-3.8 spanning the entire range for all known SGR sources. We discuss the cooling behavior of the neutron star assuming a deep crustal heating initiated by the burst activity of the source during 1998.
