Abstract

We present the first unbiased source catalog of the Monitor of All-sky X-ray Image (MAXI) mission at high Galactic latitudes (|b|>10{deg}), produced from the first 7-month data (2009 September 1 to 2010 March 31) of the Gas Slit Camera in the 4-10keV band. We have developed an analysis procedure to detect faint sources from the MAXI data, utilizing a maximum likelihood image fitting method, where the image response, background, and detailed observational conditions are taken into account. The catalog consists of 143 X-ray sources above the 7{sigma} significance level with a limiting sensitivity of ~1.5x10^-11^erg/cm^2^/s (1.2mCrab) in the 4-10keV band. Among them, we have identified 38 Galactic/LMC/SMC objects, 48 galaxy clusters, 39 Seyfert galaxies, 12 blazars, and 1 galaxy. Four other sources are confused with multiple objects, and one remains unidentified. The logN-logS relation of extragalactic objects is in good agreement with the HEAO-1 A-2 result, although the list of the brightest AGNs in the entire sky has significantly changed since that produced 30yr ago.
