The long GRB 240225B (MAXI/GSC detection: Nakajima et al., 
GCN Circ. 35796; AstroSat CZTI detection: Joshi et al., 35798)
was detected in the ground analysis of the CALET Gamma-ray 
Burst Monitor (CGBM) data around 20:12:08.50 on 25 February 
2024 (referenced to the AstroSat detection: GCN Circ. 35798)
(http://cgbm.calet.jp/cgbm_trigger/flight/1392926875/index.html).
The main episode that AstroSat CZTI detected was seen by all CGBM 
detectors. Also, a hint of emission that MAXI/GSC detected was seen 
in the HXM data around T+230 s.

The burst light curve of the main episode shows a multi-peaked 
structure that starts at T-7.6 sec, and ends at T+31.1 sec. The T90 
and T50 durations measured by the SGM data are 33.0 +/- 0.9 sec
and 17.1 +/- 1.3 sec (40-1000 keV), respectively.

The ground-processed light curve is available at

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