Gamma-ray Burst Monitor (CGBM) at 20:39:04.868 UTC on 21 December 2019.
The burst signal was seen by all CGBM detectors.
The burst light curve shows a multi-peaked pulse which starts
at T+1.8 sec, peaks at T+11.3 sec and ends at T+23.4 sec.
The T90 and T50 durations measured by the SGM data are
13.0 +- 1.6 sec and 4.4 +- 0.4 sec (40-1000 keV), respectively.
The ground processed light curve will be available at
http://cgbm.calet.jp/cgbm_trigger/ground/1260995788/
The CALET data used in this analysis are provided by
the Waseda CALET Operation Center located at the Waseda University.
