Abstract

The significance of radiative cooling for the stability properties of colliding astrophysical flows is shown. In the cases of WR ring nebula NGC 6888 and WR binary V444 Cyg it is found that thermal instabilities in the radiative loss function A(T) Tβ, β = β(T) not only have an influence on the dynamics of the collision zone, but also that they lead to a quasi-periodic increase of the radiated energy.
