The long GRB 090107B (Gotz et al., GCN 8786) was detected by the
Suzaku Wide-band All-sky Monitor (WAM) which covers an energy range
of 50 keV - 5 MeV at 2009-01-07 16:20:35 UT (=T0).
The observed light curve shows a double-peaked structure lasting from
T0-1 s to T0+20 s with a duration (T90) of about 14 seconds. The fluence
in 100 - 1000 keV was 1.3 (+0.7, -0.9) * 10^-6 erg/cm^2. The 1-s peak
flux measured from T0+13 s was 0.4 +/- 0.3 photons/cm^2/s in the same
energy range.
Preliminary result shows that the time-averaged spectrum from T0-1 s
to T0+20 s is well fitted by a single power-law with a photon index
of 2.0 +/- 0.4 (chi^2/d.o.f = 6/10).
All the quoted errors are at statistical 90% confidence level,
in which the systematic uncertainties are not included.
The light curves with 1-sec time resolution for this burst will be appeared at:
