report on behalf of the MAXI team:

We examined MAXI/GSC all-sky X-ray images (2-20 keV)
after compact binary merger candidate S231113bw at 2023-11-13 20:04:17
UTC (GCN 35016).

At the trigger time of S231113bw, the high-voltage of MAXI/GSC was off,
and it was turned on at T0+285 sec (+4.8 min).
The first one-orbit (92 min) scan observation with GSC after the event
covered 53%
of the 90% credible region of the bayestar skymap from 20:09:15 to
21:34:10 UTC (T0+298 to T0+5393 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.
