Scientific paper

We report the current status of the first MAXI source catalog from extragalactic sky at Galactic latitudes higher than 10 degrees. The GSC data in the 4-10 keV band integrated for the first 7-months are utilized, which are currently best-calibrated. We also report the results of cross identification of the MAXI sources with existing catalogs in various wavelengths, and discuss their properties. The MAXI survey is expected to achieve the best sensitivity for populations of moderately absorbed AGNs among any all sky X-ray missions, and is complementary to ROSAT all sky survey and hard X-ray (>10 keV) surveys by the Swift and INTEGRAL satellites. The details of the source detection technique and catalog content are presented in Hiroi et al. (this conference).
