The CALET Gamma-ray Burst Monitor (CGBM) detected GRB 260415B 
(Fermi GBM Final Real-time Localization: Fermi GBM team, GCN #44300; 
NuSTAR detection: Waratkar et al., GCN #44302; Glowbug gamma-ray 
detection: Woolf et al., GCN #44313) at 02:28:55.55 UTC on 15 April 2026
(https://cgbm.calet.jp/cgbm_trigger/flight/1460255329/index.html).
The burst signal was seen by all CGBM detectors.  

The burst light curve shows a multi-peaked structure starting
at T-2.9 s, peaking at T+22.1 s, and ending at T+124.5 s.
The T90 and T50 durations measured with the SGM data are 111.6 +/- 1.8 s
and 50.7 +/- 1.0 s (40-1000 keV), respectively.

The ground-processed light curve is available at
https://cgbm.calet.jp/cgbm_trigger/ground/1460255329/

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