Abstract

      The MAXIMASTER database table records high-level information of the Monitor of All-sky X-ray Image (MAXI) observations and provides access to the data archive. MAXI is a Japanese experiment located at the International Space Station (ISS), designed to continuously monitor, through a systematic survey, X-ray sources as the ISS orbits Earth. MAXI was launched by the space shuttle Endeavour on 2009 July 16, then mounted on port No. 1 on JEM-EF on July 24. After the electric power was turned on, MAXI started nominal observations on 2009 August 3. The MAXI data are a copy of the MAXI data processing; the output of which is hosted at the DARTS archive located at ISAS (<a href="https://darts.isas.jaxa.jp/astro/maxi/">https://darts.isas.jaxa.jp/astro/maxi/</a>). This catalog is then generated at the HEASARC by collecting high-level information from the data and is updated regularly during operation. This is a service provided by NASA HEASARC .
