 The long GRB 091127 (Swift/BAT trigger #377179 ; Stamatikos et al., 
 GCN 10197; Fermi/GBM trigger #281057147 ; Colleen et al., GCN 10204)  
 triggered the Suzaku Wide-band  All-sky Monitor (WAM) which covers an 
 energy range of 50 keV - 5 MeV at 2009-11-27 23:25:45.155 UT (=T0).


 The observed light curve shows a double-peaked structure starting at T0 s, 
 ending at T0+11 s with a duration (T90) of about 7 seconds. 
 The fluence in 100 - 1000 keV was 7.35 (-0.50, +0.43) x10^-6 erg/cm^2. 
 The 1-s peak flux measured from T0+1 s was 8.94 (-0.70, +0.56) 
 photons/cm^2/s in the same energy range.

 Preliminary result shows that the time-averaged spectrum from T0 s to 
 T0+11 s is well fitted by a single power-law with a photon index of 
 2.33 (-0.12, +0.13) (chi^2/d.o.f = 46.3/34).

 All the quoted errors are at statistical 90% confidence level,
 in which the systematic uncertainties are not included.
