The long-duration GRB 151212B (Fermi-GBM trigger #471576728) triggered the CALET
Gamma-Ray Burst Monitor (CGBM) at 01:32:04.68 UT on 12 December 2015. The clear
burst signal was detected by the Soft Gamma-ray Monitor (SGM; 30 keV - 20 MeV) which
is a scintillation detector utilized a BGO crystal. Due to a large incident angle
of the event, no signal was detected by the Hard X-ray Monitor (HXM; 7 keV - 1 MeV)
which is a scintillation detector composed of a LaBr3(Ce) crystal.
The light curve of the SGM shows the main peak starting from T0, peaking
at T0+1 sec and ending at T0+4 sec. The T90 duration measured by the SGM
data is 3.5 +- 0.5 sec (40-460 keV).
Currently, CALET is in the commissioning phase. Further information about CALET and
CGBM can be found at http://calet.jp/en/ and http://www.en.yoshida-agu.net/research/calet-gbm
