The bright short hard GRB 200521A (AGILE/MCAL and ratemeters detection:
Verrecchia et al., GCN Circ. 27776) triggered the CALET Gamma-ray Burst
Monitor (CGBM) at 12:16:40.803 UTC on 21 May 2020.
The burst signal was seen by all CGBM detectors.
Because of a problem in one of the ground alert processing script, the GCN
notice was not distributed automatically for this event.
The burst light curve shows a bright pulse which starts at T-0.304 sec,
peaks at -0.016 sec and ends at T+0.056 sec. The T90 and T50 durations
measured by the SGM data are 0.240 +- 0.094 sec and 0.104 +- 0.018 sec
(40-1000 keV), respectively.
The ground processed light curve is available at
http://cgbm.calet.jp/cgbm_trigger/ground/1274098167/
The CALET data used in this analysis are provided by
the Waseda CALET Operation Center located at the Waseda University.
