LIGO/Virgo G297595 : MAXI/GSC observations

We examined the MAXI/GSC all-sky X-ray images (2-20 keV) obtained in the orbit and the day after the LVC trigger G297595 at 2017-08-14 10:30:43 UTC (GCN 21474). At the trigger time of G297595, the high-voltage of MAXI/GSC was off, and it was turned on at T0+473 sec. GSC scanned more than 74.1% of the whole sky in the 92-min orbit, which includes 100% of the 90% region in the bayestar skymap scanned from 10:56:11 to 10:59:42 UTC (T0+1528 to 1739 sec). No significant new source was found in one-orbit and one-day images. The 2-20 keV 1-sigma (3-sigma) averaged upper limits obtained from the one-orbit and the one-day images in the bayestar skymap are 11(33) and 3(9) mCrab, respectively.
