The bright long GRB 100724B (Fermi/GBM trigger #301624927 ; P. N. Bhat et al., GCN 10977)
triggered the Suzaku Wide-band All-sky Monitor (WAM) which covers an
energy range of 50 keV - 5 MeV at 00:42:04.70 UT (=T0).
The observed light curve shows a multi-peaked structure starting at T0-7s, ending
at T0+143s with a duration (T90) of about 103 seconds.
The fluence in 100 - 1000 keV was 1.63(+0.03/-0.07) x 10^-4 erg/cm^2.
The 1-s peak flux measured from T0+65s was 9.3 photons/cm^2/s in the same
energy range.
Preliminary result shows that the time-averaged spectrum from
T0-4.1s to T0+141.3s is well fitted by a power-law with exponential cutoff model:
dN/dE ~ E^{-alpha} * exp(-(2-alpha)*E/Epeak) with
alpha 1.09 (+0.18/-0.19), and
Epeak 666 (+107/-67) keV (chi^2/d.o.f. = 22.8/22).
All the quoted errors are at statistical 90% confidence level.
