Scientific paper
Solid-state Slit Camera (SSC) is CCD camera installed on MAXI. The SSC consists of two CCD cameras: each contains 16 CCD chips. The CCD chip has 1024 x 1024 pixels and area of 25mm square. These CCD chips are cooled down to -60 degree using a combination of the radiator and the peltier cooler. In one year of operation, MAXI/SSC has detected over 70 X-ray sources and several bursts from known X-ray sources. In this presentation we report the status of MAXI/SSC as well as the preliminary result of monitoring X-ray transients obtained from the operation of the first year.
