The short GRB 110705A (Fermi Gamma-Ray Burst Monitor trigger 331529833,
GCN12108; von Kienlin et al.) triggered the Suzaku Wide-band All-sky
Monitor (WAM) which covers an energy range of 50 keV - 5 MeV at
03:37:11.933 UT (=T0).
The observed light curve shows double-peaked structure starting at
T0+0.008s, ending at T0+0.258s with a duration (T90) of about 0.25
seconds. The fluence in 100 - 1000 keV was
2.31(+0.10/-0.13) x 10^-6 erg/cm^2. The 1-s peak flux measured from T0
was 4.24 (+0.19/-0.20) photons/cm^2/s in the same energy range.
Preliminary result shows that the time-averaged spectrum from T0 to
T0+1s is well fitted by a power-law with exponential cutoff model:
dN/dE ~ E^{-alpha} * exp(-(2-alpha)*E/Epeak) with alpha of
0.30 (+0.18/-0.10), and Epeak of 1030 (+139/-113) keV
(chi^2/d.o.f. = 45/53).
All the quoted errors are at statistical 90% confidence level.
