report on behalf of the MAXI team:

We examined the MAXI/GSC all-sky X-ray images (2-20 keV) obtained
in the orbit after the LVC trigger
S190426c at 2019-04-26 15:21:55.337 UTC (GCN 24237).

At the trigger time of S190426c, the high-voltage of MAXI/GSC was off,
and it was turned on at T0+750 sec (=T0+12.5 min).
The one-orbit (92 min) scan of GSC covered 84% of the 90% credible region
of the bayestar1 skymap from 15:34:25 to 16:36:43　UTC (T0+750 to T0+4488 sec).

No significant new source was found in the region at the one-orbit scan.
The 1-sigma averaged upper limit obtained
from the scan was 18 mCrab at 4-10 keV.

If you require information of X-ray flux by MAXI/GSC at specific coordinates,
please contact the submitter of this circular by email.
