The short GRB 091126A (Fermi/GBM trigger #280915166 ; Tierney et al.,
GCN 10223) triggered the Suzaku Wide-band All-sky Monitor (WAM) which
covers an energy range of 50 keV - 5 MeV at 2009-11-26 07:59:24.67 UT (=T0)
The observed light curve shows a single peak starting at T0 , ending
at T0+0.5 s with a duration (T90) of about 0.3 seconds.
The fluence in 100 - 1000 keV was 5.76 (-1.72,+1.47) x10^-7 erg/cm^2.
The 1-s peak flux measured from T0 was 1.57 (-0.84,+0.39) photons/cm^2/s
in the same energy range.
Preliminary result shows that the time-averaged spectrum from T0 to
T0+0.5 s is well fitted by a single power-law with a photon index
of 2.27 (-0.43,+0.55) (chi^2/d.o.f. = 20/16).
The power-law with exponential cutoff model also gives a good fit with
the Epeak of 303(-99,+151) keV, assuming the power-law index of -0.6 as
was reported by Tierney et al. (GCN 10223).
All the quoted errors are at statistical 90% confidence level,
in which the systematic uncertainties are not included.
