report on behalf of the MAXI team:
We examined MAXI/GSC all-sky X-ray images (2-20 keV)
after the LVC trigger S200219ac at 2020-02-19 09:44:15.195 UTC (GCN 27130).
At the trigger time of S200219ac, the high-voltage of MAXI/GSC was off,
and it was turned on at T0+611 sec (+10.2 min).
The first one-orbit (92 min) scan observation with GSC after the event
covered 91%
of the 90% credible region of the bayestar skymap from 09:54:27 to
11:04:42 UTC (T0+612 to T0+4827 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.
If you require information about X-ray flux by MAXI/GSC at specific coordinates,
please contact the submitter of this circular by email.
