We report the X-ray upper limits of SN 2023ixf in M 101 observed with MAXI/GSC.
MJD of the scan, 1-sigma upper limits in 2-10 keV,
60079.565351 <12 mCrab,
60082.725611 <12 mCrab.
Each scan is for about 60 seconds.
The observation condition for M 101 around the explosion time was not good. There was no observation between the two data and after the second one.
