Summary
The most commonly advocated models for explaining the outburst of symbiotic systems are thermonuclear runaways, modulated mass accretion through a disc, or accretion disc instabilities. We show that the onset of a strong stellar wind on the cool component can also produce the observed increase in luminosity.
