Extract

A considerable amount of observational interest in short timescale phenomena has developed in optical astronomy in recent years. This interest has stemmed primarily from search efforts directed towards optical pulsars and the study of rapid fluctuations in cataclysmic variable and flare stars. Such studies have been made feasible by the development of the necessary photon pulse-counting technology required for rapid data sampling.
