 note = {Astrophysics with All-Sky X-Ray observations: 3rd International MAXI Workshop (RIKEN, 10-12 June 2008), Two different reasons make the search for transients in the nearby Universe (d less than or equal to 100 Mpc) interesting and urgent. First, there exists a large gap in the luminosity of the brightest novae (- 10 mag) and that of sub-luminous supernovae (- 16 mag). However, theory and reasonable speculation point to several potential classes of objects in this "gap". Such objects are best found in the nearby Universe. Next, the budding and nascent fields of Ultra-high energy cosmic rays, TeV photons, astrophysical neutrinos and gravitational waves (GW) are limited by ca. 100-Mpc horizon either due to physical effects (GZK effect, photon pair production) or instrumental sensitivity (neutrino and GW). Here we describe a key project of a new facility - the Palomar Transient Factory (PTF) - aimed at a comprehensive study of transients in the Local Universe. PTF has recently achieved first light and we look forward to a synergistic program with MAXI., Physical characteristics: Original contains color illustrations, 資料番号: AA0064306061, レポート番号: JAXA-SP-08-014E},
