The long GRB 240122B (Glowbug gamma-ray detection: 
Cheung et al., GCN Circ. 35606) triggered the CALET 
Gamma-ray Burst Monitor (CGBM) at 19:16:26.96 UTC 
on 22 January 2024
(http://cgbm.calet.jp/cgbm_trigger/flight/1389985993/).
The burst signal was seen by HXM2 and SGM.

The burst light curve shows a double-peaked structure that starts
at T-57.2 sec, peaks at T+9.0 sec, and ends at T+17.1 sec.
The T90 and T50 durations measured by the SGM data are 
69.2 +/- 1.9 sec and 32.2 +/- 19.7 sec (40-1000 keV), respectively.

The ground-processed light curve is available at

http://cgbm.calet.jp/cgbm_trigger/ground/1389985993/index.html

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