Summary

Abstract We have systematically studied the spectral properties of 302 localized gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) observed by the Suzaku wide-band all-sky monitor (WAM) from 2005 August to 2010 December. The energy spectra in the 100–5000 keV range integrated over the entire emission and the 1 s peak were fitted by three models: a single power law, a power law with an exponential cutoff (CPL), and the GRB Band function (GRB). Most of the burst spectra were well fitted by a single power law. The average photon index α was −2.11 and −1.73 for long and short bursts, respectively. For the CPL and GRB models, the low-energy and high-energy photon indices (α and β) for the entire emission spectra were consistent with previous measurements. The averages of the α and β were −0.90 and −2.65 for long-duratio
