7yr MAXI/GSC X-ray source cat. (3MAXI), |b|<10{deg}
Listed in IVOA Registry (Virtual Observatory)
We present the first MAXI/GSC X-ray source catalog in the low-Galactic-latitude sky |b|<10{deg} outside the Galactic center region (|b|<5{deg}, l<30{deg}, and l>330{deg}) based on 7-year data from 2009 August 13 to 2016 July 31.
Description
To overcome source confusion in crowded regions, we have accurately calibrated the position-dependent shape of the point-spread function of the MAXI/GSC by analyzing onboard data. We have also taken into account the Galactic ridge X-ray emission.
Using a maximum likelihood image fitting method, we have detected 221 sources with a significance threshold >6.5{sigma}, 7 of which are transients only detected in 73-day time-sliced images. The faintest source has a flux of 5.2x10^-12^erg/cm^2^/s (or an intensity of 0.43mCrab) in the 4-10keV band. We have identified the counterparts for about 81% of the detected sources, by cross-matching with the Swift, Uhuru, RXTE, XMM-Newton, MCXC, and ROSAT all-sky survey catalogs.

Our catalog contains the source name, position and its error, flux and detection significance in the 3-4keV, 4-10keV, and 10-20keV bands, hardness ratios, and information on the likely counterpart for the individual detected sources. We have obtained 73-day bin light curves of all the cataloged sources over 7 years and have calculated their periodograms. On the basis of the mean properties of time variability and spectral hardness, we suggest that the majority of the unidentified sources are low-mass X-ray binaries or blazars.
Finally, we present the log N-log S relations at different Galactic longitudes and for different source populations.
