XRISM/Xtend is an X-ray telescope system that has a field of view (FOV) of 38.5 x 38.5 arcmin. The wide FOV allows us to observe serendipitous X-ray sources, including transients.
XRISM/Xtend Transient Search (XTS) is a science activity to search for and report X-ray transients serendipitously found in the Xtend FOV.
XTS on-ground process is performed every day as soon as possible after daily data downlink. When a transient source that has scientific value is discovered, XTS scientists report it via the Astronomer's Telegram (ATel) to encourage multi-wavelength follow-up observations.
In the general observer (GO) phase, XTS is executed with PI's allowance. Overview of XTS is found in
