Establish of Gravitational Wave Astronomy with Gamma-Ray Burst and X-ray Transient Monitor

SUMMARY Neutron star binary merger is one of the most promising candidates to detect the gravitational wave with the gravitational wave observatories, KAGRA, Advanced LIGO, Advanced VIRGO in the middle of construction. Then the short gamma-ray bursts (SGRBs) may be produced and emit huge amount of X-rays and gamma-rays. If we realize the all sky monitoring observations with X-ray imaging detectors aboard the micro-nano satellites, we strongly contribute to establish a new frontier of gravitational astrophysics. Kanazawa University will start an educational program to learn the space science and technology, and also develop 50 kg class of micro satellites, named Kanazawa-SAT 3 (cube-sat) until 2018-19. We are planning to install the X-ray wide field monitor aboard the satellite.
