Zhang (IHEP), report on behalf of GECAM team: During the commissioning phase, GECAM-B was triggered in-flight by a long burst, GRB 210926A, at 2021-09-26T20:52:28.250 UTC (denoted as T0). This burst consists of two episodes, with the first one triggered by Fermi/GBM (trigger ID: 654382283). Both episodes were triggered by GECAM-B with the on-ground pipeline. Its alert data was promptly downlinked to the ground through the short message service of BeiDou Navigation Satellite System (BDS). The time latency of the first BeiDou message relative to the trigger time is about 1 minute. According to the BDS alert data, this burst mainly consists of multiple pulses with duration of about 90 s. The GECAM light curve could be found here: http://twiki.ihep.ac.cn/pub/GECAM/GRBList/GRB_210926A.png GECAM-B localized this burst to the following position (J2000): Ra: 351.51 deg Dec: -18.21 deg Err: 2.86 deg (1-sigma, statistical only) The current systematic error of location is estimated to be several degrees which could be minimized by the ongoing calibration. The GECAM preliminary location could be found here: http://twiki.ihep.ac.cn/pub/GECAM/GRBList/210926Aloc.png This location is consistent with Fermi/GBM position within the error. Please note that all GECAM results here are preliminary. The final analysis will be published in journal papers or GECAM online catalog. Gravitational wave high-energy Electromagnetic Counterpart All-sky Monitor (GECAM) mission consists of two small satellites (GECAM-A and GECAM-B) in Low Earth Orbit (600 km, 29 deg), launched on Dec 10, 2020 (Beijing Time), which was funded by the Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS).
