Outline of Final Research Achievements	Our research goal is to construct a broad-band transient monitor from 2 keV up to 200 keV to lead an exciting field of time-domain astronomy here in Japan. We newly developed the automatic pipeline to analyze the MAX (International Space Station's mission) and the Swift (NASA gamma-ray burst explorer mission) data to construct broad-band light curves of 106 bright hard X-ray sources. The light curves are publicly available from the web server.
