The long GRB 100606A (Swift/BAT trigger #10824; Oates et al.,)
triggered the Suzaku Wide-band All-sky Monitor (WAM)
which covers an energy range of 50 keV - 5 MeV at 19:12:41.766 UT (=T0).
The observed light curve shows a multi-peaked structure
lasting from T0-2s to T0+100s with a duration (T90) of about 65 seconds.
The fluence in 100 - 1000 keV was 2.21 (-0.28, +0.17) x10^-5 erg/cm^2.
The 1-s peak flux measured from T0+1s was 3.40 (-0.41 +0.28) photons/cm^2/s
in the same energy range.
Preliminary result shows that the time-averaged spectrum from
T0 to T0+65s is well fitted by a power-law with exponential cutoff model:
dN/dE = E^{-alpha} * exp(-(2-alpha)*E/Epeak) with
alpha 0.63 (-0.30 +0.25), and
Epeak 767 (-121 +172) keV (chi^2/d.o.f. = 45.2/52).
All the quoted errors are at statistical 90% confidence level,
in which the systematic uncertainties are not included.
