The long-duration GRB 260601B
(GECAM-B detection: Yu et al., GCN 44767;
NuSTAR-ACS detection: Waratkar et al., GCN 44771;
CALET-GBM detection: Sugita et al., GCN 44773;
Insight-HXMT detection: Wang et al., GCN 44785;
Glowbug detection: Cheung et al., GCN 44801;
Konus-Wind detection: Ridnaia et al., GCN 44806;
AstroSat-CZTI detection: Arya et al., GCN 44839)
was detected by GECAM-B, NuSTAR (ACS), CALET (GBM trigger 1464376270),
Insight-HXMT (HE), Glowbug, AstroSat (CZTI), and Konus-Wind,
at about 69168 s UT (19:12:48).
We have triangulated it to the 3 sigma IPN localization region
whose area is 55 sq. deg, and its maximum
dimension is 39 deg (the minimum one is 1.3 deg).
The fast X-ray transient EP260601a (Yang et al., GCN 44766) is inside the IPN localization strengthen the association of the transient and GRB 260601B.

The HEALPix triangulation map is the multi-order HEALPix in units of
probability density.
