Description

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

Thanks to its superior sensitivity, energy resolution and wide energy coverage, MAXI is expected to open a new window in the study of Galactic X-ray transients. In this paper, I selected the following eight areas in which MAXI is expected to make significant contributions to our understanding of the Galactic transient sources: (1) Detailed study of bright transients, (2) Monitor spectral variations, (3) Accretion disk spectral variation, (4) Faint transients, (5) Transient search in crowded region, (6) Supergiant fast X-ray transients, (7) Ultra-soft transients, and (8) Extragalactic stellar transients. For each area, I explain what MAXI will be able to do, in contrast to previous observations by all sky monitors.
