Sugita (Aoyama Gakuin U.), Y. E. Nakagawa, T. Tamagawa (RIKEN), S. Hong (Nihon U.), N. Vasquez (Tokyo Tech.), on behalf of the Suzaku WAM team, report: The very bright, Fermi-LAT detected GRB 090926A (Fermi-GBM trigger #275631628/ 090926181; Bissaldi, GCN 9933; Uehara et al., GCN 9934) triggered the Suzaku Wide-band All-sky Monitor (WAM) which covers an energy range of 50 keV - 5 MeV at 04:20:27.168 UT (=T0). The observed light curve shows a multi-peaked structure, lasting from T0-0.5 s to T0+16.5 s, followed by a weak tail seen up to ~T0+34.5s. The total duration (T90) was about 13 s and the fluence in 100 - 1000 keV was 9.71(-0.40, +0.22)x 10-5 erg/cm2. The 1-s peak flux measured from T0+3.5 s was 30.6(-2.3, +1.6) photons/cm2/s in the same energy range. Preliminary result shows that the time-averaged spectrum from T0-0.5 s to T0+34.5 s is well fitted by a GRB Band model as follows. the low-energy photon index alpha: -1.09 (-0.27, +0.37), the high-energy photon index beta: -2.63 (-0.17, +0.11), and the peak energy Epeak: 434 (-30, +32) keV (chi2/d.o.f = 29.7/23). All the quoted errors are at statistical 90% confidence level, in which the systematic uncertainties are not included.
