Observation of a Velocity Domain Cooling Instability in a Radiative Shock

The author was principal investigator responsible for initiating the projects that resulted in this publication. He led the bids for grant funding and facility access required and invented the key underpinning technique, streaked Schlieren imaging specifically to address the work reported. Together with Dunne he jointly identified the goal, a first observation of the radiative cooling instability and the experimental scenarios needed to demonstrate it. He was PhD supervisor of the lead author during this project and was heavily involved in all aspects of the work including planning and conduct of the experiment, data analysis and preparation of the publication.
