Multifragmentation of {sup nat}Ag and {sup 197}Au nuclei induced by 4.8 GeV {sup 3}He ions has been studied with the ISiS 4{pi} detector array. Rapidity and moving source analyses are consistent with thermal emission from a source in approximate kinetic equilibrium. For the most dissipative collisions, the spectral Coulomb peaks are broadened to very low energies, indicative of emission from an expanded nuclear system. Predictions of an intranuclear cascade/expanding, emitting source model compare well with experimental multiplicity distributions and the evolution of fragment spectral shapes.
