The long GRB 090530B (Fermi/GBM trigger #265400066 / 090530.760;
van der Horst et al., GCN 9472)
was detected by the the Suzaku Wide-band All-sky Monitor (WAM) which
covers an energy range of 50 keV - 5 MeV at 18:14:23 UT (=T0).
The observed light curve shows a single peak
starting at T0-1s, ending at T0+219s,
with a duration (T90) of about 113 seconds.
The fluence in 100 - 1000 keV was 2.41 ( +0.06/ -0.07 )x10-5 erg/cm2.
The 1-s peak flux measured from T0+8s was 2.39 ( +0.08/ -1.41 )
photons/cm2/s
in the same energy range.
Preliminary result shows that the time-averaged spectrum from T0-1s to
T0+219s is well fitted by a single power-law with a photon index
of 3.30 ( +0.14/ -0.13 ) (chi2/d.o.f = 31/17 ).
All the quoted errors are at statistical 90% confidence level,
in which the systematic uncertainties are not included.
The light curves with 1-sec time resolution for this burst will be
