The long GRB 251023B (MAXI/GSC Detection: Kang et al., GCN Circ 
42392) was detected in the ground analysis of the CALET Gamma-ray 
Burst Monitor (CGBM) data around 08:49:03 on 23 October 2025 (referenced
to the MAXI detection: GCN Circ. 42392).
(https://cgbm.calet.jp/cgbm_trigger/flight/1445244062/index.html).
The burst signal was seen by all CGBM detectors.

The burst light curve shows a multi-peaked structure that starts
at T-31.7 sec and ends at T+8.2 sec.
The T90 and T50 durations measured by the HXM2 data are 34.9 +/- 4.2 sec
and 16.7 +/- 2.2 sec (7-100 keV), respectively.

The ground-processed light curve is available at

https://cgbm.calet.jp/cgbm_trigger/ground/1445244062/

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