Scientific paper

We present the first catalog of hard X-ray (4-10 keV) sources at high Galactic latitude, |b| > 10 deg, from the first 7-months MAXI/GSC data (2009 September to 2010 March). We have developed a systematic analysis procedure to detect the faintest sources from the MAXI data, by utilizing maximum likelihood image fitting method, where the image response, background, and detailed observational condition are taken into account. The catalog includes more than 300 hard X-ray sources, and many of them are found to be extragalactic active galactic nuclei (AGNs).
