The short GRB 091109B (Swift/BAT trigger #375409 ; Oates et al., GCN
10148)
triggered the Suzaku Wide-band All-sky Monitor (WAM) which covers an
energy range of 50 keV - 5 MeV at 2009-11-09 21:49:02.83 UT (=T0).
The observed light curve shows a single peak starting at T0+0.3s, ending
at T0+0.6s with a duration (T90) of about 0.19 seconds.
The fluence in 100 - 1000 keV was 9.98(-3.69,+0.72) x 10^-7 erg/cm^2.
The 1-s peak flux measured from T0 was 1.75(-0.59,+0.14) photons/
cm^2/s
in the same energy range.
Preliminary result shows that the time-averaged spectrum from
T0s to T0+1s is well fitted by a power-law with exponential cutoff
model:
dN/dE ~ E^{-alpha} * exp(-(2-alpha)*E/Epeak) with
alpha 0.91(-0.78,+0.42), and
Epeak 1330(-610,+1120) keV (chi^2/d.o.f. = 24.6/24).
All the quoted errors are at statistical 90% confidence level,
in which the systematic uncertainties are not included.
