We have studied the initial phases of 65 optical flares on UV Cet type stars with a time resolution of 3x10–7 s. Ninety per cent of these flares have rapid brightenings shorter than 10 s and several are shorter than 1 s. We detected on UV Cet the shortest flare observed to date with a total duration of 1.7 s and a rise time of 0.3 s. The shortest flare rise times on the observed stars fit the predictions of the gas-dynamic flare model by Katsova et al. (1981) and Katsova and Livshits 1986).
