The long burst, GRB 060111B (Swift-BAT trigger #176918;
Perri et al., GCN 4487), triggered the Suzaku Wide-band
All-sky Monitor (WAM) which is sensitive to an energy band
of 50 keV - 5 MeV at 20:15:41 (UT).
The WAM light curve exhibits a double peak structure
with a duration (T90) of 25 seconds.
The fluence in 100 - 1000 keV was (5.6 +/- 0.8)X10^-6 erg/cm2.
The 1-s peak flux was 1.0 +/- 0.2 photons/cm2/s
in the same energy range.
Preliminary result shows that the time-averaged spectrum
is well fitted by a single power law with a photon index
of 1.5 +/- 0.3.
All the quoted errors are at statistical 90% confidence level.
The WAM in-flight calibration is still under way, and systematic
errors, such as the flux calibration uncertainties of about 20%,
are not included in the errors.
The WAM light curve of this event is available at
http://www.astro.isas.ac.jp/suzaku/research/HXD-WAM/WAM-GRB/grb/grb_table.html
Further detailed analysis and the refinement are in progress.
