We examined MAXI/GSC all-sky X-ray images (2-20 keV) after the compact binary merger candidate S230529ay at 2023-05-29 18:15:00.746 UTC (GCN 33889).
At the trigger time of S230529ay, the high-voltage of MAXI/GSC was off The first one-orbit (92 min) scan observation with GSC after the event covered 91% of the 90% credible region of the Bilby skymap (GCN 33891) from 18:31:41 to 19:40:39 UTC (T0+1001 to T0+5139 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.
