ASM vs. Narrow Field Telescope

ASM Narrow Field Telescope Observe many targets together continuously

Transient & bursting objts

Discovery, then inform to general observatories

Long-term variability of many targets

Wide field sky population of X-ray sources

Redshift: ~ 10 ?

Observe only one target precisely for a certain time

A scheduled target

Follow up observations after ASM information

Short-term variability of some scheduled targets

Detailed obs. of spectra and structure in narrow fov.

Redshift: ~ 7

MAXI Mission• Promotion of Multi-wavelength Observations.

• Dynamics of Galactic and Extra-galactic Objects. Close Binary X-ray sources ( Black holes, Neutron

stars ) Active Galactic Nuclei ( Giant black holes, Cosmic jets )

• Creation of Data Base for Variable X-ray Sources. hours, days, months, year since 1960 era!

• Large Scale Mapping of Diffuse X-ray Sky. Soft X-ray Sky (Galactic ridge structure with atomic compon’t)

CXB Fluctuation detection: <1 % @ 1.5 deg.2 for two years.

Multi-wavelength Observations

• X-ray Novae, X-ray Transients Black hole binaries, Neutron star binaries • AGN’s Long-term variability of Blazars, Seyfert

galaxies, etc• Multi-Wavelength Observatories

– Radio, Optical telescope (small size is OK!)– In Japan Optical telescopes > 60 cm – MAGNAM (Mauna Kea, Univ. of Tokyo) – GLAST etc (Gamma-ray)– CANGAROO etc (TeV Gamma-ray)

MAXI/ISS Schedule

• 2008: ISS-JEM-MAXI completion goal ?• Payloads for ISS (JEM), an omnibus system

=   Schedule is changeable.

=   ASM Science would not become out-of-date. • ASM or Monitor astronomy could be one of important scien

ces? • Please participate in multi-wavelength observations of activ

e astronomical objects with MAXI.• Please contact MAXI team if you are interesting in MAXI! • E-mail:                       or
