report on behalf of the MAXI team:

We examined MAXI/GSC all-sky X-ray images (2-20 keV)
after the LVC trigger S191205ah at 2019-12-05 21:52:08.569 UTC (GCN 26350).

At the trigger time of S191205ah, the high-voltage of MAXI/GSC was off,
and it was turned on at T0+1527 sec (+25.5 min).
The first one-orbit (92 min) scan observation with GSC after the event
covered 80%
of the 90% credible region of the bayestar skymap from 22:17:35 to
23:21:40 UTC (T0+1527 to T0+5372 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.
