Multifragmentation of {sup nat}Ag and {sup 197}Au nuclei induced by a 4.8-GeV {sup 3}He ions has been studied with the Indiana Silicon Sphere 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 extended nuclear system. Predictions of a model with an intranuclear cascade and an expanding, emitting source compare well with experimental multiplicity distributions and the evolution of fragment spectral shapes.
