report on behalf of the GECAM team:
The short burst, GRB 231206A, has been detected by GECAM-B (Liu et al., GCN 35283) and INTEGRAL/SPI-ACS.
With the ETJASMIN pipeline (Energetic Transients joint analysis system for Multi-INstrument, Xiao et al.,
MNRAS, 514, 2397, 2022) and the data of GECAM-B and INTEGRAL/SPI-ACS, we did a joint location for this burst.
Firstly, we applied the Li-CCF method (Xiao et al., ApJ, 920, 43, 2021) to the high
temporal resolution (~0.1 ms) light curve of GECAM-B and the low-latency public 50 ms
light curve of INTEGRAL/SPI-ACS, and derived the triangulation location as the following annuli:
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Annulus Ra (deg) Dec (deg) Radius (deg) Radius-Error (deg, 3sigma)
GECAM-B + SPI-ACS 37.933 78.224 103.958 47.522
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Then, we combined this triangulation location, the stand-alone location provided by GECAM-B
(Liu et al., GCN 35283), as well as the Earth occultation of these instruments,
and derived a refined location, which is much smaller than the stand-alone ones.
The center (highest probability) of this refined location is:
--------------------------------------
RA (deg) Dec (deg)
Center 314.648 -20.742
--------------------------------------
The 1-simga region of this refined location is about 295 deg^2.
The sky map and probability healpix data of this refined location could be found at:

Data file: http://twiki.ihep.ac.cn/pub/GECAM/GRBList/GRB231206A-jointLoc-healpix-v01.fits
Note that a part of the location region is below the Earth limb of GECAM-B and thus excluded.
This location may be improved.
ETJASMIN is developed for joint observation of high energy transients by the GECAM team.
