FIREBALL BLASTWARE MODEL AND SOFT GAMMA-RAY REPEATERS/

Soft gamma-ray repeaters are at determined distances and their positio ns are known accurately. If observed, afterglows from their soft gamma -ray bursts will provide important clues to the study of the so called ''classical gamma-ray bursts''. On applying the popular fireball/blas twave model of classical gamma-ray bursts to soft gamma-ray repeaters, it is found that their x-ray and optical afterglows are detectable. M onitoring of the three repeaters is solicited.
