report on behalf of the MAXI team:

We examined MAXI/GSC all-sky X-ray images (2-20 keV)
after the LVC trigger S190828j at 2019-08-28 06:34:05.756 UTC (GCN 25497).

At the trigger time of S190828j, the high-voltage of MAXI/GSC was on.
The instantaneous field of view of GSC at the GW trigger time covered
2% 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 94%
of the 90% credible region of the bayestar skymap from 06:34:05 to
08:06:01 UTC (T0+0 to T0+5516 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.
