Abstract
ASCA has observed two Soft Gamma-ray burst Repeaters (SGRs) among three known. This is a short report of the two SGRs, 1806–20 and 0526–66(N49). The observed X-ray characteristics favor a spin-powered system for SGR1806-20 and no ASCA detection of the hard X-ray component from SGR0526–66 suggests a very soft spectrum of the ROSAT HRI X-ray point source.
