report on behalf of GECAM team:
During the commissioning phase, GECAM-B was triggered in-flight by a long burst, 
GRB 220127A, at 2022-01-27T18:53:26.100 UTC (denoted as T0),
which was also observed by INTEGRAL/SPI-ACS(TrigID=9654), WIND-KONUS.
 
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 single pulse
with a duration of about 0.2 s. 
The GECAM light curve could be found here:

Using the automatic on-ground localization pipeline with the BDS alert data, 
GECAM-B localized this burst to the following position (J2000): 
Ra: 306.36 deg 
Dec: -44.3 deg
Err: 5.14 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:

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).
