1. Magnetars are strongly magnetized neutron stars with surface magnetic fields of ~10 14 G. Based on observational and theoretical studies, 7 soft gamma repeaters and 9 anomalous X-ray pulsars are generally known as the magnetars. Their persistent emission consists of a thermal component ( 10 keV; e.g., Enoto et al. 2010). Some of them presented a flux increasing by a factor of 2  3 accompanied by high burst activities and/or enhanced emission with unusual spectral properties (e.g., [1]). Their continuous monitoring is crucial, since comparisons of properties between low and high flux phases give useful information in order to reveal radiation mechanisms. Thanks to a wide field of view and a better sensitivity than RXTE by a factor of a few in a 2-30 keV range of the MAXI/GSC, it is suitable for this purpose. We analyzed the magnetars, and detected at least AXP 4U 0142+614 (~3 mCrab; >10  ) and AXP 1E 1547-5408 (~1.5 mCrab; >14  ) using 1 and 4 week data, respectively. We report the first MAXI/GSC view of the magnetars on long-term variability. The First MAXI/GSC View of Galactic Magnetars Yujin E.
