Zhang (IHEP), report on behalf of GECAM team: During the commissioning phase, GECAM-B was triggered in-flight by a long burst, GRB 210827B, at 2021-08-27T10:10:16.60 UTC (denoted as T0), which was also observed by Fermi/GBM (GCN #30726). GECAM alert data was downlinked to the ground through the short message service of BeiDou Navigation Satellite System (BDS) within ~60 s after T0. According to the BDS alert data, this burst mainly consists of a broad pulse with a duration of about 20 s. The GECAM light curve could be found here: http://twiki.ihep.ac.cn/pub/GECAM/GRBList/gecamb_lc_grd_all_combine_83758216.png Using the automatic on-ground localization pipeline with the BDS alert data, GECAM-B localized this burst to the following position (J2000): Ra: 307.5 deg Dec: -19.2 deg Err: 3.5 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/gecamb_skymap_bdm_83758216_V01.png GECAM location is consistent with the 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).
