The long GRB 091010 (Fermi trigger #276835391/091010113,
von Kienlin et al., GCN10018, SuperAGILE Donnarumma et al., GCN 10004)
triggered the Suzaku Wide-band All-sky Monitor (WAM) in a energy
range from
50 keV to 5 MeV at 02:43:09.50 UT (=T0).
The observed light curve shows a multi-peaked structure, starting at
T0 s and ending at T0+7s, with a total duration (T90) of 6.5 s.
The fluence in 100 - 1000 keV was 6.22(+0.48,-0.42) x 10-6 erg/cm^2.
The 1-s peak flux measured from T0+1 s was 9.91(+0.89,-1.03) photons/s/
cm^2
in the same energy range.
Preliminary result shows that the time-averaged spectrum from
T0-1s to T0+7s is well fitted by a single power-law with
a photon index of 2.50 (+0.24,-0.22) (chi^2/d.o.f = 11.7/8).
All the quoted errors are at statistical 90% confidence level,
in which the systematic uncertainties are not included.
