report on behalf of the MAXI team:

We examined MAXI/GSC all-sky X-ray images (2-20 keV)
after the LVC trigger S190510g at 2019-05-10 02:59:39.292 UTC (GCN 24442).

At the trigger time of S190510g, the high-voltage of MAXI/GSC was off,
and it was turned on at T0+358 sec (=T0+6.0 min).
The first one-orbit (92 min) scan observation with GSC after the event
covered 91%
of the 90% credible region of the bayestar skymap from 03:05:37 to
04:15:54 UTC (T0+358 to T0+4575 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,
please contact the submitter of this circular by email.
