Fermi-LAT detection: Crnogorcevic et al., GCN Circ. 28083;
https://gcn.gsfc.nasa.gov/other/200711A.gcn3)
triggered the CALET Gamma-ray Burst Monitor (CGBM)
at 11:04:34.187 UTC on 11 July 2020
(http://cgbm.calet.jp/cgbm_trigger/flight/1278500601/).
The burst signal was seen only by the SGM detector.

The burst light curve shows a weak pulse which starts at T-0.9 sec and
ends at T+4.0 sec. The T90 and T50 durations measured by the SGM data are
4.2 +- 1.3 sec and 2.1 +- 1.3 sec (40-1000 keV), respectively.

The ground processed light curve is available at

http://cgbm.calet.jp/cgbm_trigger/ground/1278500601/

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