| Research Abstract |
Monitor of All-sky X-ray Image (MAXI) started the observation on 2009 August 15. This fund enabled us to prepare ground computers and their analysis software. MAXI data are open to world-wide through the internet since 2009 December. MAXI is being operated properly now for 3 years and 9 months after the launch. MAXI has detected 502 X-ray sources with flux > 0.6 mCrab in the high galactic region. MAXI also detected significant power spectra from 14 Seyfert galaxies. However, because the number of detectors is a half of the planned and the observation time is a half, the da
