LIGO/Virgo G284239: MAXI/GSC observations
Abstract
We examined the MAXI/GSC all-sky X-ray images (2-20 keV) obtained in the orbit and the day after the LVC trigger G284239 at 2017-05-02 22:26:07.910 UTC (GCN 21060). MAXI/GSC scanned more than 88% of the whole sky in the 92-min orbit, which includes 81.2% of the 90% regions in the LIB_skymap. One day image covers 100% of the 90% regions in the LIB_skymap. No significant new source was found in these images. The upper limits for the X-ray flux are different depending on the part of the sky. For instance, typical 2-20 keV 1-sigma (3-sigma) upper limits obtained from the one-orbit and one-day images are 11(33) mCrab and 4(12) mCrab, respectively, If you require information of X-ray flux by MAXI/GSC at specific coordinates, please contact the submitter of this circular by email.
