Seven major bursting phases, which consist of a total of 253 individual bursts, are identified. We further analyze the periodic properties of our sample using the Lomb-Scargle spectrum and a novel model (named \"Simple Period Model\") developed by ourselves. Two methods yield the same results in that those bursts exhibit a period of ~237 days with a ~58.6% duty cycle. Based on our analysis, we further predict two upcoming active windows of the X-ray bursts. As of July 7th, 2021, the beginning date of our first perdition has been confirmed by the ongoing X-ray activities of the SGR J1935+2154.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2021-07-08T12:17:28.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "x-ray bursts", "fermi/gbm data", "periodicity search", "gamma-ray burst monitor continuous data", "fermi gamma-ray burst monitor continuous" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 13, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
