358 mm Monitor of All-sky X-ray Image (MAXI) MAXI GSC GSC SSC - To be placed on the International Space Station in 2008 ? • Energy range is 0.5 – 30 keV for combined CCD camera • and Gas Slit Camera(SSC:200 cm2 ,GSC:5350 cm2)
Now MAXI is in a final phase for FM. GSC: 2-30 keV SSC: 0.5-10 keV Weight: 490 kg MAXI Overview and Scanning Process
MAXI Sensitivity Sensitivity (mCrabs) SSC GSC Systematic error level Dwell Time (seconds)
Appendix A MAXISensitivity MAXI will monitor extra-galactic objects as well as Galactic sources above 1 m Crab. One Orbit (30 sources) O n e D a y ( 1 0 0 s o u r c e s ) O n e W e e k ( 1 0 0 0 s o u r c e s )
X-ray Nova Light Curves and MAXI Detectability X-ray spectra are detectable every day Flux (Crab unit) One Crab = 2.4x10-9 erg sec-1 cm-2 Detectable in one day One m Crab Detectable in one week Time (days after outburst) Tanaka & Shibazaki, Annu. Rev.Astron. Astrophys. 34 (1996), 607

MAXI/ISS Schedule and ISS Science • 1992: ISS completion goal in 1982 ? • 2000: ISS completion goal in 1992 ? • 2003: ISS-JEM-MAXI completion goal in 1996 • 2008: present ISS-JEM-MAXI completion goal ? • Payloads for ISS (JEM), an omnibus system =Schedule is changeable. =Science should not become out-of-date. = Resources & attitude system are restricted. • ASM or Monitor astronomy could be one of reasonable sciences? MAXI is delayed and then Lobster-ISS follows complementarily.
Summary ・ Dynamics of Galactic and Extra-galactic Objects: Multi-color Observations. ・ Creation of Data Base for Variable X-ray Sources: Necessity of Continuation of ASM missions. ・ Large Scale Mapping of Diffuse X-ray Sky: Toward better Energy Resolution, Doppler-shift and Absorption etc. ・ MAXI launching time: ready in 2007 with the best ASM sensitivity. But Lobster-ISS will follow complementarily with better sensitivity.
Thank you for your attention.
