The long GRB 120624B (Fermi/GRM; Gruber et al., GCN 13377,Fermi/LAT;
Vianello et al., GCN 13379,Konus-Wind; Golenetskii et al., GCN
13382,Swift/BAT; Sakamoto et al., GCN 13384)���was detected by the Suzaku
Wide-band All-sky Monitor (WAM) which covers an energy range of
50 keV - 5 MeV at 22:19:30.985 UT (=T0).
The observed light curve shows a multi-peaked structure starting at
T0+5 s, ending at T0+279 s, with a duration (T90) of about 274 seconds.
The fluence in���100 - 1000 keV was 1.22(-0.06 +0.02) x 10^-4 erg/cm^2.
The 1-s peak flux measured from T0+274.5s was
6.88(-2.11 +0.27) photons/cm^2/s in the same energy range.
Preliminary result shows that the time-averaged spectrum from T0-20s to
T0+285s is well fitted by a GRB Band model:
the low-energy photon index alpha: -1.03(-0.16 +0.20),
beta : -2.61 (-0.33, +0.20)
and the peak energy Epeak: 628(-73 +84) keV (chi^2/d.o.f = 72.1/50).
All the quoted errors are at statistical 90% confidence level,
in which the systematic uncertainties are not included.
