report on behalf of the MAXI team:

We examined MAXI/GSC all-sky X-ray images (2-20 keV)
after the LVC trigger S200115j at 2020-01-15 04:23:09.742 UTC (GCN 26759).

At the trigger time of S200115j, the high-voltage of MAXI/GSC was off,
and it was turned on at T0+922 sec (+15.4 min).
The first one-orbit (92 min) scan observation with GSC after the event
covered 99%
of the 90% credible region of the bayestar skymap from 04:38:32 to
05:50:56 UTC (T0+923 to T0+5267 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.
