report on behalf of the MAXI team:
We examined MAXI/GSC all-sky X-ray images (2-20 keV)
after the LVC trigger S200302c at 2020-03-02 01:58:11.519 UTC (GCN 27278).
At the trigger time of S200302c, the high-voltage of MAXI/GSC was off,
and it was turned on at T0+557 sec (+9.3 min).
The first one-orbit (92 min) scan observation with GSC after the event
covered 57%
of the 90% credible region of the bayestar skymap from 02:07:28 to
03:24:53 UTC (T0+557 to T0+5202 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,
