Promising Observations of Variable X-ray Objects with MAXI on ISS-JEM

查看全文→
MAXI is the first payload to be attached on JEM-EF (Kibo exposed facility) of ISS. It provides an all sky X-ray image every ISS orbit. If MAXI scans the sky during one week, it could make a milli-Crab X-ray all sky image excluding bright region around the sun. Thus, MAXI does not only inform X-ray novae and transients rapidly to world astronomers if once they occur, but also observes long term variability of Galactic and extra-Galactic X-ray sources. MAXI also provides an X-ray source catalogue at that time with diffuse cosmic X-ray background. MAXI consists of two kinds of detectors, position sensitive gas-proportional coun ters for 2-30 keV X-rays and X-ray CCD for 0.5-10 keV X-rays. The former camera and the latter are called GSC (Gas Slit Camera) and SSC (Solid-state Slit Camera), respectively. All instruments of MAXI are almost reacly for launching. Data processing and analysis software including alert system on ground are being developed by mission team. MAXI will be attached on Kibo-EF in an early phase of 2009.
