report on behalf of the MAXI team:
We examined MAXI/GSC all-sky X-ray images (2-20 keV)
after the LVC trigger S200311bg at 2020-03-11 11:58:53.398 UTC (GCN 27358).
At the trigger time of S200311bg, the high-voltage of MAXI/GSC was off,
and it was turned on at T0+1163 sec (+19.4 min).
The first one-orbit (92 min) scan observation with GSC after the event
covered 81%
of the 90% credible region of the bayestar skymap from 12:18:16 to
12:20:08 UTC (T0+1163 to T0+1275 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.
