report on behalf of the MAXI team:
We examined MAXI/GSC all-sky X-ray images (2-20 keV)
after the LVC trigger S200225q at 2020-02-25 06:04:21.397 UTC (GCN 27193).
At the trigger time of S200225q, the high-voltage of MAXI/GSC was on.
The instantaneous field of view of GSC at the GW trigger time covered
1% of the 90% credible region
of the bayestar sky map, in which we found no significant new X-ray source.
The first one-orbit (92 min) scan observation with GSC after the event
covered 27%
of the 90% credible region of the bayestar skymap from 06:04:21 to
07:36:17 UTC (T0+0 to T0+5516 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,
