Abstract
Observational data on the bursting activity of all five known soft gamma repeaters (SGRs) are presented. This information was obtained with Konus gamma-ray burst experiments on board Venera 11-14, Wind, and Kosmos 2326 in the period from 1978 to 2000. These data on rates, time histories, and energy spectra of repeated soft bursts, obtained with similar instruments and collected together in a comparable form, should be useful for further studies of SGRs.Keywords
