The long GRB 090528B (Fermi-GBM trigger 265206153 / 090528516;
von Kienlin et al., GCN9447) triggered the Suzaku Wide-band All-sky
Monitor (WAM) which covers an energy range of 50 keV - 5 MeV
at 12:22:29.849 UT (=T0).
The observed light curve shows a bright multi-peaked structure
starting at T0-5 s, ending at T0+60 s, and very weak emission is seen
up to T0+120 s. The total T90 duration is about 77 seconds.
The fluence in 100 - 1000 keV was 3.08 (-0.16, +0.14) x10^-5 erg/cm2.
The 1-s peak flux measured from T0+11s was 3.53 (-0.32, +0.27)
photons/cm2/s in the same energy range.
Preliminary result shows that the time-averaged spectrum from T0-5 s
to T0+120 s is fitted by a single power-law with a photon index of
2.00 (-0.10, +0.11) (chi^2/d.o.f = 32.1/20).
