Tsai (NCU), K. Nakazawa, K. Makishima (Univ. of Tokyo), The long bright GRB 111215B (localized by IPN: Hurley et al., GCN 12698) triggered the Suzaku Wide-band All-sky Monitor (WAM) which covers an energy range of 50 keV - 5 MeV at 20:28:05.704 UT (=T0). The observed light curve shows a multi-peaked structure starting at T0-0.5 s, followed by a long weak tail seen up to T0+75 s with a duration (T90) of about 61 seconds. The fluence in 100 - 1000 keV was 2.81(-0.06, +0.09) x 10^-5 erg/cm^2. The 1-s peak flux measured from T0+13 s was 8.68 (-0.52, +0.36) photons/cm^2/s in the same energy range. Preliminary result shows that the time-averaged spectrum from T0-0.5 s to T0+74.5 s is well fitted by a single power-law with a photon index of 2.05 (-0.06, +0.07) (chi^2 / d.o.f = 19.7/25). All the quoted errors are at statistical 90% confidence level, in which the systematic uncertainties are not included.
