摘要
We report on two 1997 June observations of a soft bursting source whose time histories and energy spectra are consistent with those of the soft gamma repeaters. The source can be localized only to an approximate to 3.8 degrees long error box in the direction of the Galactic center, whose area is approximate to 80 arcmin(2). The location of the source, while not consistent with that of any of the four known soft repeaters, is consistent with those of several known and possible supernova remnants.
