The CALET Gamma-ray Burst Monitor (CGBM) detected GRB 260805C
at 07:27:40.04 UTC on 5 August 2026 (trigger #1469950046;
https://cgbm.calet.jp/cgbm_trigger/flight/1469950046/index.html).

No real-time CGBM GCN notice was distributed about this trigger because 
the real-time communication from the ISS was off (loss of signal).

This event was also reported by Glowbug (Cheung et al., GCN #45292).

The burst signal was seen by all CGBM detectors.
The burst light curve shows a single pulse starting
at T-0.6 s and ending at T+8.0 s.
The T90 and T50 durations measured with the SGM data are 7.6 +/- 0.5 s
and 4.4 +/- 0.5 s in the 40-1000 keV band, respectively.

The ground-processed light curve is available at:
https://cgbm.calet.jp/cgbm_trigger/ground/1469950046/

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