Astrophysics with All-Sky X-Ray observations: 3rd International MAXI Workshop (RIKEN, 10-12 June 2008)

MAXI, Monitor of All-sky X-ray Image is one order of magnitude more sensitive than previous instruments, so that MAXI is the most advanced X-ray monitor to discover X-ray transient objects such as X-ray novae. MAXI's capability to discover black hole X-ray novae and scientific objectives are discussed through a historical and statistical analysis of newly compiled list of 45 black hole candidates. Finally, MAXI's nova finding and alert system is discussed.
