Yang-Zhao Ren, Chen-Wei Wang, Shao-Lin Xiong (IHEP) report on behalf of GECAM team:
GECAM-B was triggered in-flight by GRB 261111A, at 2026-11-11T11:27:10.050 UTC (denoted as T0), which is also detected by Fermi/GBM (Fermi GBM team, GCN #46224).
According to the GECAM-B light curves in about 70-6000 keV, this burst mainly consists of multiple pulses with a duration (T90) of 41 +3/-1 s.
The GECAM-B light curve can be found here:

The time-averaged spectrum from T0-10 to T0 + 40 s is best fitted by a power law function. The power law index is -1.70 +0.13/-0.11. The event fluence (10-1000 keV) in this time interval is (2.05 +0.15/-0.20) E-05 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).
