| Research Abstract |
We observed many transient X-ray souces by using Monitor of All-sky X-ray Image (MAXI), and we reported these transients through ATEL and GCN. We established the systematic observations for a few magnetars continuously. We observed X-ray pulsation of Crab pulsar at the same time ofthe GeV gamma-ray flare, and found that there is no changes in X-ray pulsation.On November 2011, we discovered a transient MAXI J0158-744. It is historically the first observation for the ignition of novae. We observed magnetars with using Subaru telescope.
