The Suzaku Wide-band All-sky Monitor (WAM) which covers an energy range 
of 50 keV - 5 MeV detected the current burst activities most likely
arising from the AXP 1E1547.0-5408, as reported by Swift BAT
(Gronwall et al., GCN 8833Not found
 
 
), INTEGRAL SPI-ACS (Savchenko et al., GCN 8837Not found
 
 
) 
and Fermi GBM (Connaughton et al., GCN 8835Not found
 
 
). Over a period of 
January 21 23:49:41 - January 22 23:47:00 (UT), the WAM detected about 
250 bursts with durations of less than 5 seconds above 5.5 sigma. The most 
intense event with a T90 duration of 5 seconds was observed on 2009-01-22 
08:17:28 (UT), and also detected by INTEGRAL SPI-ACS (Mereghetti et al., GCN 8841Not found
 
 
). 
The light curves with 1 sec time resolution for all these bursts are available 
at the following URL:

Among them, following five events were detected with the Suzaku WAM 
onboard triggering system, and their finer time resolution light curves 
(1/64 sec time resolution) are available at:
