Description

We, Science Satellite Operation and Data Archive Unit (C-SODA) in JAXA, have developed FTOOLS-based software (mxsim_psf and mxsim_bgd), which can make simulations of point spread function (PSF) and non X-ray background (NXB) of MAXI/GSC. These tools will be released from HEASARC, soon. By using these tools, we start to develop a tool to make MAXI/GSC light curves obtained by image-fits using the PSF and NXB. We aim to make the PSF-fit tool used for the search of soft X-ray flashes of novae (Morii et al. 2016) available by this development.
