The short GRB 070714B (Swift/BAT trigger #284856; Racusin et al.,
GCN 6620; Barbier et al., GCN 6623) triggered the Suzaku Wide-band
All-sky Monitor (WAM) which covers an energy range of 50 keV - 5 MeV
at 04:59:29.247 UT (=T0).
The observed light curve with 1/64 sec resolution shows a multi-peaked
structure with a sharp strong peak at ~T0+0.45 sec. The duration (T90)
was about 2.0 sec.
The fluence in 100 - 1000 keV was (2.3 � 0.2)x10^-6 erg/cm^2, while the
1-s peak flux measured from T0+0 to T0+1 sec was
2.8 � 0.3 photons/cm^2/s in the same energy range.
Preliminary result shows that the time-averaged spectrum from T0+0 to
T0+2 sec is well fitted by a single power-law with a photon index
of 1.3 � 0.2 (chi^2 / d.o.f. = 22/20).
All the quoted errors are at statistical 90% confidence level,
in which the systematic uncertainties are not included.
