The bright, long GRB 090709A (Swift/BAT trigger #356890 ; Morris et
al., GCN 9625) triggered the Suzaku Wide-band  All-sky Monitor (WAM)
which covers an energy range of 50 keV - 5 MeV at 07:38:33 UT (=T0).

The observed light curve shows a multi-peaked structure with a duration
(T90) of about 81 seconds. The corresponding peaks in the FFT power
spectrum of 1 s light curve are clearly seen around P=8.06(-0.20,+0.20) s,
which is consistent with the previous reports (Markwardt et al., GCN 9645;
Golenetskii et al., GCN 9647; Gotz et al., GCN 9649).
The fluence in 100 - 1000 keV was 6.06(-0.36, +0.48) x10^-5 erg/cm^2.
The 1-s peak flux measured from T0+70s was 4.83(-0.69, +0.27) photons/cm^2/s
in the same energy range.

Preliminary result shows that the time-averaged spectrum from
T0-10s to T0+110s is well fitted by a power-law with exponential cutoff model:
  dN/dE ~  E^{-alpha} * exp(-(2-alpha)*E/Epeak) with
  alpha       0.97(-0.43, +0.52), and
  Epeak       439(-58, -48) keV (chi^2/d.o.f. = 62.9/48).

All the quoted errors are at statistical 90% confidence level,
in which the systematic uncertainties are not included.
