The bright GRB 110625A (Swift/BAT trigger #456073 ; Page et el., GCN 12088 ; Fermi/LAT detection ; Tam and Kong GCN 12097, Gruber et al., GCN 12100)
triggered the Suzaku Wide-band All-sky Monitor (WAM) which covers an
energy range of 50 keV - 5 MeV at 2011-06-25 21:08:22.01 UT (=T0).
The observed light curve shows a multi-peaked structure (starting at T0-1s, ending
at T0+28s) with a duration
(T90) of about 24 seconds. The fluence in 100 - 1000 keV was 2.54 (+/-0.09) x 10^-05 erg/cm^2.
The 1-s peak flux measured from T0+20s was 13.6 (+/-1.0) photons/cm^2/s in the same energy range.
Preliminary result shows that the time-averaged spectrum from T0-1s to
T0+28s is well fitted by a single power-law with a photon index of 2.26 (+/- 0.09) (chi^2/d.o.f = 31.7/24).
However, there might be some calibration
uncertainties in the flux value because GRB photons came to the WAM detector by passing through the large Ne dewar of the X-ray micro-calorimeter (XRS).
All the quoted errors are at statistical 90% confidence level,
in which the systematic uncertainties are not included.
