report on behalf of the MAXI team:
We examined the MAXI/GSC all-sky X-ray images (2-20 keV) obtained
in the orbit and the day after the LVC trigger
G275697 at 2017-02-27 18:57:31.375 UTC (GCN 20763).
In the 92-min orbit, MAXI/GSC scanned more than 56%
of the whole sky, which includes 52.5% of the
90% regions in the bayestar skymap.
One day image covers 94.1% of the 90% regions
in the bayestar skymap.
No significant new source was found in these images.
The upper limits for the X-ray flux are different depending
on the part of the sky.
For instance, typical 2-20 keV 1-sigma (3-sigma) upper limits obtained
from the one-orbit and oneday images are
12 (36) mCrab and 3 (9) mCrab, respectively.
