The MAXI Mission on the ISS: Science and Instruments for Monitoring All Sky X-Ray Images
read the original abstract
The MAXI (Monitor of All-sky X-ray Image) mission is the first astronomical payload to be installed on the Japanese Experiment Module-Exposed Facility (JEM-EF) on the ISS. It is scheduled for launch in the middle of 2009 to monitor all-sky X-ray objects on every ISS orbit. MAXI will be more powerful than any previous X-ray All Sky Monitor (ASM) payloads, being able to monitor hundreds of AGN. MAXI will provide all sky images of X-ray sources of about 20 mCrab in the energy band of 2-30 keV from observation on one ISS orbit (90 min), about 4.5 mCrab for one day, and about 1 mCrab for one month. A final detectability of MAXI could be 0.2 mCrab for 2 year observations.

On the assessment of the disk truncation and detection of type-II bursts from the accreting millisecond X-ray Pulsar IGR J17062-6143
Spectral fitting of 2022 observations indicates the disk reaches 7-17 R_g from the neutron star at low inclination, with first reported type-II bursts attributed to magnetospheric gating.

Discovery of EP J175257.3-351923 as a Candidate Black Hole Low-Mass X-ray Binary
EP J175257.3-351923 is identified as a candidate black hole low-mass X-ray binary from its FRED outburst profile, persistent hard state, truncated disk spectrum with 217 keV cutoff, and high X-ray-to-optical ratio.

Radio-X-ray Time Lags in GX 339-4: Probing Magnetic Field Transport in Black Hole Accretion
Time lag analysis using ICCF on GX 339-4 data reveals state-dependent radio-X-ray delays interpreted as evidence for magnetic field transport linking the inner accretion flow and jet.

Pulse profile modelling of the 2024 outburst of the accreting millisecond pulsar SRGA J144459.2-604207
Joint NICER+IXPE pulse-profile modeling of SRGA J144459.2-604207 favors large neutron-star mass and radius with two independent hotspots but shows strong sensitivity to joint-analysis methodology.

A bright flare in the obscured state of GRS 1915+105 as seen by NICER and Swift
A bright flare in GRS 1915+105's obscured state arises from enhanced intrinsic emission plus reduced obscuration, with stratified absorber-reflector geometry consistent with re-illumination after a failed disk wind an...
