Abstract: (arXiv)
The hνpeak/100KeV[Eiso/1052erg]1/2h\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.
