The first observation of optical pulsations from a soft gamma repeater: SGR0501+4516

We present high-speed optical photometry of the soft gamma repeater SGR0501+4516, obtained with ULTRACAM on two consecutive nights approximately 4 months after the source was discovered via its gamma-ray bursts. We detect SGR0501+4516 at a magnitude ofi'= 24.4 +/- 0.1. We present the first meas...
