MAXI (Monitor of All-sky X-ray Image)

We provide a new page for the MAXI mission. MAXI is an instrument for monitoring of all-sky X-ray image, mounted on the Japanese Experimental Module of the International Space Station. On January 13, 2010, the Monitor of All-sky X-ray Image (MAXI) team started public data release at the MAXI homepage operated at RIKEN Advanced Science Institute. After completion of the MAXI mission, the public data will be permanently stored at and distributed from the DARTS.

An example of the public MAXI data and page. The target here is XTE J1752-223, a black-hole candidate.
