The CALET Gamma-ray Burst Monitor (CGBM) detected the short
GRB 260601A at 11:00:12.042 UTC on 1 June 2026 (trigger #1464346716;
https://cgbm.calet.jp/cgbm_trigger/flight/1464346716/index.html).
A CGBM Notice was distributed in near real time.
This event was also reported by Fermi GBM (The Fermi GBM team, GCN #44755;
Holzmann Airasca et al., GCN #44760), Glowbug (Cheung et al., GCN #44763),
GECAM-B (Wang et al., GCN #44778), SVOM/GRM (Wang et al., GCN #44793), and
KONUS-Wind (IPN_RAW Notice at 2026-06-01 11:00:09.16 UTC).
The burst signal was seen by all CGBM detectors.
The burst light curve shows a multi-peaked structure, starting at T+0.40 s,
peaking at T+0.50 s, and ending at T+0.59 s.
The T90 and T50 durations measured with the SGM data are 0.18 +/- 0.01 s
and 0.05 +/- 0.03 s in the 40-1000 keV band, respectively.
The ground-processed light curve is available at:
