"The First Year of MAXI: Monitoring Variable X-ray Sources", Poster Presentations, 4th International MAXI Workshop held November

Physics

Scientific paper

The MAXI is a high sensitive X-ray all-sky monitor with a detection sensitivity of 15 mCrab in a day and 6 mCrab in a week. To unveil characteristics and populations of faint X-ray sources with this flux range, we have an approved RXTE ToO program of new MAXI sources with the 5-50 mCrab flux. This observation can be triggered up to five sources, and the net exposure is 30 ksec for each. The first trigger to this program was newly discovered black hole candidate MAXI J1659-152, and an RXTE pointing observation started soon after the discovery. In this poster presentation, details of our ToO program and observations of MAXI J1659-152 are presented.
