The long GRB 091112 (Swift/BAT trigger #375659 ; Palmer et al., GCN
10165;
Fermi/GBM trigger #279740477 ; Briggs et al., GCN 10164)
triggered the Suzaku Wide-band All-sky Monitor (WAM) which covers an
energy range of 50 keV - 5 MeV at 2009-11-12 17:41:16.31 UT (=T0).
The observed light curve shows a multi-peaked structure starting at
T0-4s, ending at T0+16s with a duration (T90) of about 15 seconds.
The fluence in 100-1000 keV was 7.85(-2.91,+0.37)x10^-6 erg/cm2.
The 1-s peak flux measured from T0+7s was 1.25(-0.89,+0.09) photons/
cm2/s
in the same energy range.
Preliminary result shows that the time-averaged spectrum from
T0-4s to T0+16s is well fitted by a power-law with exponential cutoff
model:
dN/dE ~ E^{-alpha} * exp(-(2-alpha)*E/Epeak) with
alpha 1.19(-0.76,+0.45), and
Epeak 628(-192,+607)keV (chi2/d.o.f. = 23.9/24).
All the quoted errors are at statistical 90% confidence level,
in which the systematic uncertainties are not included.
