アブストラクト
We propose an X-ray all sky monitor for JEM on the Space Station. Considering the practical circumstances, we show as a case study that the all-sky monitor with slit hole cameras is most promising for monitoring the short-term and long-term X-ray transients. We call this all-sky monitor MAXI (Monitor of All-sky X-ray Image). Position determination of gamma-ray bursts could be achieved with accuracy less than one degree observing the X-ray component of the burst. Weak X-ray sources such as active galactic nuclei could also be monitored with a time resolution of less than one day.
