   Idea

   Right Bousfield localizations of model categories are a way to encode coreflective localizations of (∞,1)-categories in the setting of model categories.

   Given a model category $M$, the formal definition and elementary properties can be deduced from the definition and properties of left Bousfield localizations of the opposite category of $M$.

   However, the typical existence theorems for right Bousfield localizations are not formulated in this manner, since typical conditions involve some form of local presentability of the underlying category, or an analogous condition, which typically do not hold for the opposite category.

   Barwick’s existence theorem

   If $C$ is a tractable model category, $D$ is an accessible accessibly embedded subcategory of $C$ that is closed under homotopy colimits in $C$. Then there is a right Bousfield localization of $C$, which is a right model category (but not necessarily a model category), and its colocal objects are precisely the object of $D$.
