Scientific paper
MAXI started operation as an X-ray all-sky monitor on the Japanese Experiment Module "Kibo" of the International Space Station in August 2009. Since then, MAXI has detected outburst episodes Be X-ray binaries, black hole candidates, low-mass X-ray binaries, and active galactic nuclei. It also detected flares of active stars, gamma-ray bursts, and short X-ray transients from unidentified sources. I present an overview of the operation and scientific highlights of MAXI in its first 14 months.
