The CALET Gamma-ray Burst Monitor (CGBM) detected GRB 260806A
at 07:26:59.65 UTC on 6 August 2026 (trigger #1470036404;
https://cgbm.calet.jp/cgbm_trigger/flight/1470036404/index.html).
A CGBM Notice was distributed in near real time.
This event was also reported by Glowbug (Cheung et al., GCN #45348).
The burst signal was seen by all CGBM detectors.
The burst light curve shows a multi-peaked structure starting
at T+1.7 s, peaking at T+6.9 s, and ending at T+64.6 s.
The T90 and T50 durations measured with the SGM data are 55.7 +/- 3.1 s
and 34.9 +/- 11.5 s in the 40-1000 keV band, respectively.
The ground-processed light curve is available at:

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