Refer to section 10 of the Einstein 1905 paper - Dynamics of the Slowly Accelerated Electron. The longitudinal mass is theorized to increase as gamma^3. This was first introduced by Lorentz. Relativistic mass is rather controversial, as can be seen by referring to Wikipedia.

It appears the current article is claiming the the inertial / gravitational mass of certain particles is gamma^3 times the rest mass of relativistic neutrinos that comprise them. Or something.

Ok, I see that now. Thanks for the pointer.
