The long GRB 090626 (Fermi/GBM trigger 267683530 / 090626189 ; A. von Kienlin et al.,
GCN 9579) triggered the Suzaku Wide-band All-sky Monitor (WAM) which
covers an energy range of 50 keV - 5 MeV at 04:32:09 UT (=T0). The observed
light curve shows a multi-peaked structure lasting from T0-2 s, ending at
T0+65 s, with a duration (T90) of about 45 seconds.

The fluence in 100 - 1000 keV was 3.60 (-0.07, +0.22) x10-5 erg/cm2.
The 1-s peak flux measured from T0+2 s was 10.51 (-0.76, +0.67)
photons/cm2/s
in the same energy range.

Preliminary result shows that the time-averaged spectrum from
T0-2s to T0+65s is well fitted by a power-law with exponential cutoff model:
  dN/dE ~ E^{-alpha} * exp(-(2-alpha)*E/Epeak) with
  alpha 1.76(-0.18, +0.17), and
  Epeak 270(-79, +63) keV (chi2/d.o.f. = 26/22).

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