report on behalf of the MAXI team:
We examined MAXI/GSC all-sky X-ray images (2-20 keV)
after compact binary merger candidate S230627c at 2023-06-27 01:53:37.819 UTC (GCN 34086).
At the trigger time of S230627c, the high-voltage of MAXI/GSC was on.
The instantaneous field of view of GSC at the GW trigger time covered 5% 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 64%
of the 90% credible region of the bayestar skymap from 01:53:37 to 03:25:36 UTC (T0+0 to T0+5519 sec).
No significant new source was found in the region in the one-orbit scan observation.
Because the 90% credible region of this event was observed by degraded camera,
a typical 1-sigma averaged upper limit obtained in one scan observation
is 140 mCrab at 2-20 keV.
