and the CALET collaboration:

The soft GRB 191004A (Swift-BAT detection: Cenko et al., GCN Circ. 25945,
Sakamoto et al., GCN Circ. 25953; Konus-Wind observation: Svinkin et al.,
GCN Circ. 25973) triggered the CALET Gamma-ray Burst Monitor (CGBM) at
18:07:05.528 UTC on 4 October 2019. The burst signal was seen by all CGBM
detectors.
No real-time CGBM GCN notice was distributed about this trigger because
the real-time communication from the ISS was off (loss of signal).

The burst light curve shows two pulses which start at T-2.7 sec and end
at T+0.0 sec. The T90 and T50 durations measured by the SGM data are
2.6 +- 0.3 sec and 1.9 +- 1.4 sec (40-1000 keV), respectively.

The ground processed light curve is available at

http://cgbm.calet.jp/cgbm_trigger/ground/1254247608/

The CALET data used in this analysis are provided by
the Waseda CALET Operation Center located at the Waseda University.
