Description
MAXI has been working for 15 years and contributing to a part of the time-domain astronomy by the quick alerts of transients. The main instrument GSC of MAXI has been stable after some damage occurred in the first year. The other instrument SSC has damaged due to the radiation damage. The main system of the MAXI suffered abrupt shut down twice in 2022 June. Since then SSC was stopped to reduce the load of the power supply. MAXI discovered 35 sources in 15 years, including 14 black hole binaries. Since the previous 7 yr workshop, bright X-ray novae appeared, such as MAXI J1535-571, MAXI J1820+070, MAXI J1631-479, MAXI J1348-630, MAXI J1803-298, and 4U 1543-475. Two Be X-ray binary pulsars were discovered in the anti-galactic center direction, as MAXI J0709-159 and MAXI J0655-013.
