report on behalf of the MAXI team: 

We examined MAXI/GSC all-sky X-ray images (2-20 keV) 
after the LVC trigger S200129m at 2020-01-29 06:54:58.435 UTC (GCN 26926). 

At the trigger time of S200129m, the high-voltage of MAXI/GSC was off, 
and it was turned on at T0+195 sec (+3.3 min). 
The first one-orbit (92 min) scan observation with GSC after the event covered 100% 
of the 90% credible region of the bayestar skymap from 07:06:13 to 07:11:43 UTC (T0+675 to T0+1005 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,
