Jin-Ye Luo, Chen-Wei Wang, Chao Zheng, Yue Wang, Zheng-Hang Yu, Shao-Lin Xiong (IHEP) report on behalf of GECAM team:
GECAM-B was triggered on-ground by GRB 261024C at 2026-10-24T18:24:11.250 UTC (denoted as T0), which is also detected by AstroSat/CZTI (Harsha K. H. et al., GCN #46039) and NuSTAR (G. Waratkar et al., GCN #46050).
According to the GECAM-B light curves in about 70-6000 keV, this burst mainly consists of multiple pulses with a duration (T90) of 39.0 +13/-5 s.
The on-ground calculated location, using the GECAM-B trigger data, is RA = 30.4 deg, Dec = 46.5 deg, with a statistical uncertainty of 1.8 deg.

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).
