AbstractInstrumentation and observing methods are developed for optical high-speed astrophysics, aiming at exploring milli-, micro-, and nanosecond variability. Such rapid fluctuations can be expected from instabilities in accretion flows, and in the fine structure of photon emission. For the optical, we have constructed a dedicated instrument, whose first version was tested on La Palma to study atmospheric scintillation on very short timescales. A second version is now under development, using photon-counting avalanche photodiodes as detectors.
