| dc.description | We find self-similar solutions to describe the interaction of spherically symmetric ejecta expanding at relativistic speeds with an ambient medium having a power law density distribution. Using this solution, the time evolution of the Lorentz factor of the outer shock is derived as a function of the explosion energy, the mass of the ejecta, and parameters for the ambient medium. These solutions are an ultra-relativistic version of the solutions for the circumstellar interaction of supernova ejecta obtained by Chevalier and extensions of the relativistic blast wave solutions of Blandford & Mckee. | |
