On 2010 March 31, MAXI discovered an outburst from LS V +44 17 which is one of the Be/X-ray Binaries (BeXBs). BeXBs consist of a neutron star orbiting around an early-type Be star. This BeXB, LS V +44 17 had not showed any outbursts since 1997 when the source identified as BeXB. After the MAXI discovery, RXTE and Swift observed the source both in three times. Pulse profiles of the outburst obtained by RXTE showed the dip-like structures at soft X-ray bands (2-10 keV) when the outburst was nearly most bright. This kind of structures are discovered at GX 1+4, A0535+262 and RX J0812.4-3114. Those origin is interpreted as a partial "eclipse" of a shaded emission region by an accretion column of the neutron star. But, it is unsure that the explanation can be applied to LS V +44 17. In my talk, I will present results of phase resolved spectroscopy to explain the dip-like structures of the pulse profiles of LS V +44 17 and show spectra variation during the outburst which obtained by MAXI.
