Status of Calibration and Data Analysis of MAXI GSC
Abstract
We review the status of the response calibration and data analysis of MAXI/GSC. Light curves and images of about 200 pre-registered X-ray sources are processed from the all-sky scan data every data. They are archived on the MAXI public web site. The spectra and response files will also be open to public sooner since October, 2010. The monitor targets and the archived data have been updated frequently so far according to the updates of the software and calibration files. We briefly introduce the procedure of the GSC data analysis, then present the status of the instrument response calibration and the expected science performance as well as the future update plan.
