The long GRB110709B (Swift/BAT trigger #456967, GCN 12122 ; Cummings et al.,)
triggered the Suzaku Wide-band All-sky Monitor (WAM)
which covers an energy range of 50 keV - 5 MeV at 21:32:44.453 UT (=T0).
The observed light curve shows multiple peaks starting at T0-10 s, ending
at T0+40 s, with a duration (T90) of about 48 seconds. The fluence in
100 - 1000 keV was 1.53 (-0.16, +0.29) x 10^-5 erg/cm^2. The 1-s peak
flux measured from T0+25.5 s was 1.70 (-0.43, +0.30) photons/cm^2/s in the
same range.
Preliminary result shows that the time-averaged spectrum from
T0-12 s to T0+40 s is well fitted by a power-law with exponential cutoff model:
dN/dE ~ E^{-alpha} * exp(-(2-alpha)*E/Epeak) with
alpha 0.61 (-1.16, +0.95), and
Epeak 286 (-80, +41) keV (chi^2/d.o.f. = 12.6/14).
