VizieR Online Data Catalog: MAXI GSC X-ray LCs of the ULX Swift J0243.6+6124 (Sugizaki+, 2020)

Swift J0243.6+6124 is a Be X-ray binary pulsar (XBP) discovered on 2017 October 3.

The long-term X-ray activity of Swift J0243.6+6124 has been continuously monitored by all-sky X-ray instruments in orbit, i.e., the Monitor of All-sky X-ray Image (MAXI) Gas Slit Camera (GSC), Swift/BAT, and Fermi/GBM.

Since 2009 August, the MAXI GSC on the International Space Station (ISS) has been scanning almost the whole sky every 92 minute orbital cycle in the 2-30keV band.

The present paper describes the GSC observation and the data analysis of Swift J0243.6+6124 during the giant outburst from 2017 October to 2018 January.
