An Interpretation of the h ν peak - E iso Correlation for Gamma-Ray Bursts

Abstract
The $h\nu_{peak}/100 KeV \sim [E_{iso}/10^{52} \rm{erg}]^{1/2}$ correlation reported recently by Amati et al. (2002) and Lamb et al. (2003) for long GRB's can be interpreted as a viewing angle effect if the emitting region of the fireball is ring-shaped.Comment: 12 pages. 5 figure
