The long GRB 070911 (Swift/BAT trigger #290624 ; Krimm et al., GCN 6777;
Palmer et al., GCN 6778) triggered the Suzaku Wide-band All-sky Monitor (WAM)
which covers an energy range of 50 keV - 5 MeV at 2007-09-11 05:58:20 UT (=T0).
The observed light curve shows a multi-peaked structure lasting from T0-160s
to T0+120s, with a duration (T90) of about 182 seconds. The fluence in
100 - 2000 keV was 1.4 (+0.3, -0.3) * 10^-5 erg/cm^2. The 1-s peak flux
measured from T0+0s was 1.1 (+0.3, -0.2) photons/cm^2/s in the same energy
range.
Preliminary result shows that the time-averaged spectrum from T0-160s to
T0+120s is well fitted by a single power-law with a photon index of
1.9 (+0.3, -0.4) (chi^2/d.o.f = 8.7/16).
All the quoted errors are at statistical 90% confidence level,
in which the systematic uncertainties are not included.
