report on behalf of the MAXI team:
We examined MAXI/GSC all-sky X-ray images (2-20 keV)
after compact binary merger candidate S250201i at 2025-02-01 02:08:41.292 UTC.
At the trigger time of S250201i, the high-voltage of MAXI/GSC was off,
and it was turned on at T0+844 sec (+14.1 min).
The first one-orbit (92 min) scan observation with GSC after the event covered 98%
of the 90% credible region of the bayestar skymap from 03:09:42 to 03:22:16 UTC (T0+3661 to T0+4415 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,
