The long, GRB 090813
(Swift/BAT trigger #359884 ; Cummings et al., GCN 9781;
Fermi GBM trigger #271829444 )
triggered the Suzaku Wide-band All-sky Monitor (WAM)
which covers an energy range of 50 keV - 5 MeV at 04:10:43.2 UT (=T0).
The observed light curve shows a double-peaked structure
lasting from T0-0.8s to T0+1.2s followed by a long weak tail seen up
to T0+6.8s with a duration (T90) of about 7.6 seconds.
The fluence in 100 - 1000 keV was 1.70 (-0.51, +0.61) 10^-6 erg/cm^2.
The 1-s peak flux measured from T0-0.2s was 2.77 (-0.40, +0.35)
photons/cm^2/s in the same energy range.
Preliminary result shows that the time-averaged spectrum from T0-0.8s to
T0+6.8s is well fitted by a single power-law with a photon index
of 1.80 (-0.30, +0.40) (chi^2/d.o.f = 7.6/8).
All the quoted errors are at statistical 90% confidence level,
in which the systematic uncertainties are not included.
