Description
The Monitor of All-sky X-ray Image (MAXI) has been observing the X-ray sky and has detected 164 GRBs since its launch in 2009. MAXI is suitable for detecting transient events such as GRB due to its unique scanning observation. Recently, Low luminosity GRBs (LL GRBs) have become a key in multi-messenger astronomy. However, only a few of these events have been observed by all detectors so far. MAXI has the potential to detect LL GRB with sensitivity in lower energy range. In this study, we performed spectral analysis and estimated the Luminosity Function of GRBs observed by MAXI. Our results show that MAXI is capable of observing LL GRB, as shown by the logN-logS distribution and the derived Luminosity Function.
