MAXI/GSC all-sky maps

The All-sky X-ray maps accumulated from the Gas Slit Camera (GSC) on board the MAXI mission for 11 years from 2009 to 2020.

A pseudo-color all-sky map by the GSC. Blue, green and red represent brightness in the 2.0−4.0 keV, 4.0−8.0 keV and 8-16 keV energy bands, respectively. The top/bottom images look apparently dim/bright in order to adjust the color scale for bright/faint sources.
