Xue-Yuan Zao, Xing-Hao Luo, Chen-Wei Wang, Shao-Lin Xiong (IHEP) report on behalf of GECAM team:
GECAM-B was triggered in-flight and on-ground by GRB 260207B, at 2026-02-07T13:12:10.850 UTC, which is also detected by Fermi/GBM (Fermi GBM team, GCN #43629).
According to the GECAM-B light curves in about 70-6000 keV, this burst mainly consists of a short spike (Main Emission, ME) followed by an extended emission (EE) with a total duration (T90) of 65 +23/-9.5 s.
The GECAM-B light curve can be found here:

The ME from T0 - 0.07 to T0 + 0.19 s is best fitted by a power law function with an exponential high-energy cutoff. The power law index is -1.15 +0.29/-0.32 and the cutoff energy, parameterized as Epeak, is 345 +151/-70 keV. The event fluence (10-1000 keV) in this time interval is (2.04 +/-0.22)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).
