Circ. 35095; GECAM-C detection: Wang-Chen et al., GCN Circ. 35117)
triggered the CALET Gamma-ray Burst Monitor (CGBM) at 03:03:19.31
UTC on 17 November 2023
(http://cgbm.calet.jp/cgbm_trigger/flight/1384225326/).
The burst signal was seen by all CGBM detectors.

The burst light curve shows a single pulse that starts
at T+0.35 sec, peaks at T+0.68 sec, and ends at T+1.02 sec.
The T90 and T50 durations measured by the SGM data are 0.45 
+/- 0.08 sec and 0.15 +/- 0.02 sec (40-1000 keV), respectively.

The ground-processed light curve is available at

http://cgbm.calet.jp/cgbm_trigger/ground/1384225326/

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