Jia-Cong Liu, Shao-Lin Xiong, Peng Zhang, Yan-Qiu Zhang, Chen-Wei Wang (IHEP) report on behalf of the GECAM team:
GECAM-A detected a long burst, GRB 250312A, at 2025-03-12T13:24:17 UTC (denoted as T0), which was also observed by Swift/BAT (A. Melandri et al. 2025, GCN 39686).
According to the GECAM-A light curves in about 50-200 keV, this burst mainly consists of a pulse with a T90 of about 5.0 ± 0.2 s.

We note that these results are preliminary. Refined analysis will be reported.
Gravitational wave high-energy Electromagnetic Counterpart All-sky Monitor (GECAM) mission originally consists of two microsatellites (GECAM-A and GECAM-B) launched in Dec. 2020.
As the third member of GECAM constellation, GECAM-C was launched onboard SATech-01 experimental satellite in July 2022. GECAM mission is funded by the Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS).
