The long GRB 240229 (Fermi GBM Final Real-time Localization: 
Fermi GBM team, GCN Circ. 35833; BALROG localization: Biltzinger et al.,
GCN Circ 35834; INTEGRAL SPI ACS: Trigger Num. 10602)
triggered the CALET Gamma-ray Burst Monitor (CGBM) at 
14:07:07.40 UTC on 29 February 2024
(http://cgbm.calet.jp/cgbm_trigger/flight/1393250567/).
The burst signal was seen by all CGBM detectors.

The burst light curve shows a double-peaked structure that starts
at T+2.9 sec, peaks at T+26.5 sec, and ends at T+36.8 sec.
The T90 and T50 durations measured by the SGM data are 27.6 +/- 2.5 sec
and 19.2 +/- 0.4 sec (40-1000 keV), respectively.

The ground-processed light curve is available at

http://cgbm.calet.jp/cgbm_trigger/ground/1393250567/index.html

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