Chen-Wei Wang, Zheng-Hang Yu, Shao-Lin Xiong (IHEP) report on behalf of GECAM team:
GECAM-B was triggered in-flight by GRB 260101A at 2026-01-01T00:56:34.100 UTC (denoted as T0), which is also detected by Fermi/GBM (Fermi GBM team, GCN #43284), Swift (S. B. Cenko et al., GCN #43285), SVOM/GRM (Yu et al., GCN #43292).
According to the GECAM-B light curve in about 70-6000 keV, this burst mainly consists of multi-pulses with a duration (T90) of 30.0 +6.0/-3.0 s.

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).
