The long GRB 250902A (Fermi GBM Final Real-time Localization:
Fermi GBM team, GCN Circ. 41648; SVOM/GRM observation: Wang et al.,
GCN Circ. 41653; Fermi GBM Detection: Bala et al., GCN Circ. 41662;
GECAM-B detection: Zheng et al., GCN Circ. 41687; VZLUSAT-2 detection:
Ripa et al., GCN Circ. 41701) triggered the CALET Gamma-ray Burst
Monitor (CGBM) at 01:30:01.56 UTC on 2 September 2025
(https://cgbm.calet.jp/cgbm_trigger/flight/1440811415/index.html).
The burst signal was seen by all CGBM detectors. Because of a problem with the ground alert processing script, the GCN notice was not distributed automatically for this event.
The burst light curve shows a multi-peaked structure that starts
at T-0.6 sec, peaks at T+2.9 sec, and ends at T+6.8 sec.
The T90 and T50 durations measured by the SGM data are 6.1 +/- 0.3 sec
and 2.5 +/- 0.3 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.
