Hao-Xuan Guo, Chen-Wei Wang, Zheng-Hang Yu, Shao-Lin Xiong (IHEP) report on behalf of GECAM team:
GECAM-B was triggered in-flight by GRB 251230A / EP251230a at 2025-12-30T01:21:44.050 UTC (denoted as T0), which is also detected by Swift (Lanava et al., GCN #43252), EP-WXT (Li et al., GCN #43255 and Wang et al., GCN #43272) and Insight-HXMT/HE (Guo et al., GCN #43299).
According to the GECAM-B light curve in about 70-6000 keV, this burst mainly consists of multi-pulses with a duration (T90) of 71.2 +4.6/-8.2 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).
