Abstract
The X-ray Imaging and Spectroscopy Mission (XRISM),launched on 7th September 2023, is carrying two X-ray telescope systems. One of them is Xtend which has a wide field of view of 38 arcmin squared, and provides spectroscopic imaging in the 0.4-13 keV band. The Xtend Transient Search (XTS) program executes searches for transient sources using the field of view of Xtend. If the XTS detects the transient events, it is quickly to be reported to the world via a telegram such as the Astronomer's Telegram (ATel) or the Gamma-ray Coordination Network (GCN). This search is to be conducted at least once a day. In this presentation, the framework of XTS, its operation method, the specific system of exploration, and the current status of the search will be reported.
