The long GRB 100728A (Fermi/GBM trigger #301976252; von Kienlin et al., GCN
#11006; Swift/BAT trigger #430151; Cannizzo et al., GCN 11004) triggered the
Suzaku Wide-band  All-sky Monitor (WAM) which covers an energy range of 50
keV - 5 MeV at 2010-07-28 02:17:32.68 UT (=T0).

The observed light curve shows a multi-peaked structure starting at T0-5s,
ending at T0+198s, with a duration (T90) of about 162 seconds. The fluence
in 100 - 1000 keV was 9.09 (-1.55, +0.07) x 10^-5 ergs/cm^2. The 1-s peak
flux measured from T0+80s was 4.66 (-0.78, +0.03) photons/cm^2/s in the same
energy range.

Preliminary result shows that the time-averaged spectrum from
T0-2s to T0+180s is well fitted by a power-law with exponential cutoff
model:
  dN/dE ~  E^{-alpha} * exp(-(2-alpha)*E/Epeak) with
  alpha       0.76 (+/-0.11), and
  Epeak       378 (-14, +13) keV (chi^2/d.o.f. = 34.4/22).

All the quoted errors are at statistical 90% confidence level.
