Chen-Wei Wang, Shao-Lin Xiong (IHEP) report on behalf of GECAM team:
GECAM-B was triggered on-ground by GRB 250625A at 2025-06-25T16:04:56 UTC (denoted as T0), which is also detected by Fermi/GBM (Fermi GBM Team, GCN#40824), Swift/BAT (David Palmer et al., GCN#40825), Fermi/LAT (Davide Depalo et al., GCN#40836). According to the GECAM-B light curves in about 40-6000 keV, this burst mainly consists of a single pulse with a duration (T90) of 6.0 +3.5/-5.5 s.
The GECAM-B light curve can be found here:

The time-averaged spectrum from T0 to T0+4 s is best fitted by a power law function. The power law index is -1.52 +0.29/-0.20. The event fluence (10-1000 keV) in this time interval is (1.39 +/-0.24)E-06 erg/cm^2.
Gravitational wave high-energy Electromagnetic Counterpart All-sky Monitor (GECAM) mission originally consists of two micro-satellites (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).
