The CALET Gamma-ray Burst Monitor (CGBM) detected the short GRB 260527A
(Konus-Wind detection: Svinkin et al., GCN #44722; GECAM-B detection:
Yu et al., GCN #44724) at 06:16:09.76 UTC on 27 May 2026
(https://cgbm.calet.jp/cgbm_trigger/flight/1463897683/index.html).
The burst signal was seen by all CGBM detectors.
The burst light curve shows a multi-peaked structure starting
at T+0.16 s, peaking at T+0.28 s, and ending at T+0.38 s.
The T90 and T50 durations measured with the SGM data are 0.19 +/- 0.04 s
and 0.06 +/- 0.02 s (40-1000 keV), respectively.
Einstein Probe/WXT detected a fast X-ray transient, EP 260527a
(Yang et al., GCN #44718), about 4 minutes after the CGBM trigger,
and Einstein Probe/FXT follow-up observations were also reported by Yang et al.
(GCN Circ. 44725). The position of EP 260527a was observable by CGBM
at the CGBM trigger time, with an incident angle of approximately 40 degrees.
