Large X-ray Flares on Stars Detected with MAXI/GSC: A Universal Correlation between the Duration of a Flare and its X-ray Luminosity
Yohko Tsuboi, Kyohei Yamazaki, Yasuharu Sugawara +39
23 giant flares from 13 active stars (eight RS CVn systems, one Algol system, three dMe stars and one YSO) were detected during the first two years of our all-sky X-ray monitoring…
MAXI observations of GRBs
Motoko Serino, Takanori Sakamoto, Nobuyuki Kawai +40
Monitor of all-sky image (MAXI) Gas Slit Camera (GSC) detects gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) including the bursts with soft spectra, such as X-ray flashes (XRFs). MAXI/GSC is sensitive to…
Extraordinary luminous soft X-ray transient MAXI J0158-744 as an ignition of a nova on a very massive O-Ne white dwarf
M. Morii, H. Tomida, M. Kimura +29
We present the observation of an extraordinary luminous soft X-ray transient, MAXI J0158-744, by the Monitor of All-sky X-ray Image (MAXI) on 2011 November 11. This transient is ch…
The 37-month MAXI/GSC source catalog in the high Galactic-latitude sky
Kazuo Hiroi, Yoshihiro Ueda, Masaaki Hayashida +40
We present the catalog of high Galactic-latitude () X-ray sources detected in the first 37-month data of Monitor of All-sky X-ray Image (MAXI) / Gas Slit Camera (GS…
Recurrent Outbursts and Jet Ejections Expected in Swift J1644+57: Limit-Cycle Activities in a Supermassive Black Hole
Tomohisa Kawashima, Ken Ohsuga, Ryuichi Usui +3
The tidal disruption event by a supermassive black hole in Swift J1644+57 can trigger limit-cycle oscillations between a supercritically accreting X-ray bright state and a subcriti…
Spectral Evolution of a New X-ray Transient MAXI J0556-332 Observed by MAXI, Swift, and RXTE
Mutsumi Sugizaki, Kazutaka Yamaoka, Masaru Matsuoka +31
We report on the spectral evolution of a new X-ray transient, MAXI J0556-332, observed by MAXI, Swift, and RXTE. The source was discovered on 2011 January 11 (MJD=55572) by MAXI Ga…
Outburst of LS V+44 17 Observed by MAXI and RXTE, and Discovery of a Dip Structure in the Pulse Profile
Ryuichi Usui, Mikio Morii, Nobuyuki Kawai +28
We report on the first observation of an X-ray outburst of a Be/X-ray binary pulsar LS V +44 17/RX J0440.9+4431, and the discovery of an absorption dip structure in the pulse profi…
Long-term Monitoring of the Black Hole Binary GX 339-4 in the High/Soft State during the 2010 Outburst with MAXI/GSC
Megumi Shidatsu, Yoshihiro Ueda, Satoshi Nakahira +29
We present the results of monitoring the Galactic black hole candidate GX 339-4 with the Monitor of All-sky X-ray Image (MAXI) / Gas Slit Camera (GSC) in the high/soft state during…
A Spectral Study of the Black Hole Candidate XTE J1752-223 in the High/Soft State with MAXI, Suzaku and Swift
Satoshi Nakahira, Shu Koyama, Yoshihiro Ueda +34
We report on the X-ray spectral analysis of the black hole candidate XTE\ J1752--223 in the 2009--2010 outburst, utilizing data obtained with the MAXI/Gas Slit Camera (GSC), the Sw…
Revisit of Local X-ray Luminosity Function of Active Galactic Nuclei with the MAXI Extragalactic Survey
Yoshihiro Ueda, Kazuo Hiroi, Naoki Isobe +32
We construct a new X-ray (2--10 keV) luminosity function of Compton-thin active galactic nuclei (AGNs) in the local universe, using the first MAXI/GSC source catalog surveyed in th…
A Large X-ray Flare from a Single Weak-lined T Tauri Star TWA-7 Detected with MAXI GSC
Akiko Uzawa, Yohko Tsuboi, Mikio Morii +35
We present a large X-ray flare from a nearby weak-lined T Tauri star TWA-7 detected with the Gas Slit Camera (GSC) on the Monitor of All-sky X-ray Image (MAXI). The GSC captured X-…
