The short GRB 140619B (Fermi-GBM detection : Connaughton et al, GCN
16419; Fermi-LAT detection: Kocevski et al., GCN 16420) triggered the
Suzaku Wide-band All-sky Monitor (WAM) which covers an
energy range of 50 keV - 5 MeV at 11:24:40.128 UT (=T0).
The observed light curve shows a single peak, lasting from T0 to T0+1 s
with a duration
(T90) of about 0.7 seconds. The fluence in 100 - 1000 keV was 1.50
(+0.07, -0.22) x10^-6 erg/cm^2.
The 1-s peak flux measured from T0 was 2.29 (+0.19, -0.53)
photons/cm^2/s in the same energy range.
Preliminary result shows that the time-averaged spectrum from T0 to T0+1
s is well fitted by a power-law with exponential cutoff model:
dN/dE ~ E^{-alpha} * exp(-(2-alpha)*E/Epeak) with
alpha 0.45 (+0.31, -0.37), and
Epeak 1418 (+292, -239) keV (chi^2/d.o.f. = 23.78/29).
All the quoted errors are at statistical 90% confidence level, in which
the systematic uncertainties are not included.
