report on behalf of the MAXI team:
We examined MAXI/GSC all-sky X-ray images (2-20 keV) after the LVC trigger S190521g
at 2019-05-21 03:02:29.447 UTC (GCN 24621).
At the trigger time of S190521g, the high-voltage of MAXI/GSC was off,
and it was turned on at T0+708 sec (+11.8 min).
The first one-orbit (92 min) scan observation with GSC after the event covered
100% of the 90% credible region of the bayestar skymap from 03:14:17 to 04:21:47 UTC
(T0+708 to T0+4758 sec).
No significant new source was found in the region in the one-orbit scan observation.
A typical 1-sigma averaged upper limit obtained in one scan observation is
20 mCrab at 2-20 keV.
