Description
Since the start of the operation in 2009, MAXI has detected many outbursts from newly discovered and known Galactic black hole and neutron star X-ray binaries. They were promptly reported to the astronomical community over the world, which stimulated follow-up observations at various wavelengths. MAXI itself also provided unique long-term X-ray data covering their entire outburst periods, which gave us the overall picture of the spectral evolution during outbursts. In this talk, we showcase the MAXI detections and long-term monitoring of X-ray binaries and present the results of follow-up observations that we conducted with other observatories.
