Elisabetta Bissaldi (MPE) reports on behalf of the Fermi GBM Team:
"At 13:32:22.85 UT on 02 June 2009, the Fermi Gamma-Ray Burst Monitor
triggered and located GRB 090602 (trigger 265642344 / 090602564).
The on-ground calculated location, using the GBM trigger
data, is RA = 248.9, DEC = -65.0 (J2000 degrees,
equivalent to 16h 36m, -65d 00'), with an uncertainty
of 3.4 degrees (radius, 1-sigma containment,
statistical only; there is additionally a systematic
error which is currently estimated to be 2 to 3 degrees).
The angle from the Fermi LAT boresight is 112 degrees.
This burst was also independently detected by INTEGRAL SPI-ACS.
The GBM light curve consists of a broad single peak
with a duration (T90) of about 16 s (8-1000 keV).
The time-averaged spectrum from T0-1.3s to T0+9s is
best fit by a power law function with an exponential
high energy cutoff. The power law index is -0.56 +/- 0.14 and
the cutoff energy, parameterized as Epeak, is 503 +/- 91 keV
(chi squared 327 for 358 d.o.f.).
The event fluence (8-1000 keV) in this time interval is
(5.7 +/- 0.3)E-06 erg/cm^2. The 1-sec peak photon flux measured
starting from T0+2.8 s in the 8-1000 keV band
is 3.62 +/- 0.17 ph/s/cm^2.
The spectral analysis results presented above are preliminary;
final results will be published in the GBM GRB Catalog."

The long GRB 090602 (Fermi-GBM trigger 265642344 / 090602564;
Bissaldi et al., GCN9486) triggered the Suzaku Wide-band All-sky
Monitor (WAM) which covers an energy range of 50 keV - 5 MeV
at 13:32:23.291 UT (=T0).
The observed light curve shows a bright multi-peaked structure
starting at T0-1 s, ending at T0+12 s.
The total T90 duration is about 10 seconds.
The fluence in 100 - 1000 keV was 3.7 (-1.6, +0.4) x10-6 erg/cm2.
The 1-s peak flux measured from T0+3s was 1.0 (-0.7, +0.3)
photons/cm2/s in the same energy range.
Preliminary result shows that the time-averaged spectrum from
T0-1s to T0+11s is well fitted by a power-law with exponential cutoff model:
dN/dE ~ E^{-alpha} * exp(-(2-alpha)*E/Epeak) with
alpha 0.79(-0.79, +0.95), and
Epeak 581(+954,-195) keV (chi2/d.o.f. = 52.9/45).
All the quoted errors are at statistical 90% confidence level,
in which the systematic uncertainties are not included.
