Abstract

We present a new self-similar solution describing early evolution of an ultra-relativistic flow resulting from a collision of homologously expanding spherical ejecta with the circumstellar matter, in which a shock wave propagates in the circumstellar matter while a weak discontinuity propagates in the ejecta at the sound speed
