report on behalf of the MAXI team:
We examined MAXI/GSC all-sky X-ray images (2-20 keV)
after the LVC trigger S200128d at 2020-01-28 02:20:11.903 UTC (GCN 26906).
At the trigger time of S200128d, the high-voltage of MAXI/GSC was on.
The instantaneous field of view of GSC at the GW trigger time covered
1% 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 92%
of the 90% credible region of the bayestar skymap from 02:20:11 to
03:52:09 UTC (T0+0 to T0+5518 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.
