On the possibility of identifying the short hard burst GRB 051103 with a giant flare from a soft gamma repeater in the M81 group of galaxies

The light curve, energy characteristics, and localization of the short hard burst GRB 051103 are considered. Evidence for identifying this event with a giant flare from a soft gamma repeater in the nearby M81 group of interacting galaxies is discussed.
