report on behalf of the MAXI team:
We examined MAXI/GSC all-sky X-ray images (2-20 keV) after compact binary merger candidate S240830gn at 2024-08-30 21:11:20.392 UTC (GCN #37354, #37357).
At the trigger time of S240830gn, the high-voltage of MAXI/GSC was off, and it was turned on at T0+374 sec (+6.2 min). The first one-orbit (92 min) scan observation with GSC after the event covered 65% of the 90% credible region of the Bilby skymap from 21:31:02 to 22:21:22 UTC (T0+1182 to T0+4202 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.
