High time-resolution astrophysics (HTRA) involves measuring and
studying astronomical phenomena on timescales of seconds to
milliseconds. Although many areas of astronomy, such as X-ray
astronomy and pulsar observations, have traditionally required high
time-resolution studies, HTRA techniques are now being applied to
optical, infrared and gamma-ray wavelength regimes, due to the
development of high efficiency detectors and larger telescopes that
can gather photons at a higher rate. With lectures from eminent
scientists aimed at young researchers and postdoctorate students in
observational astronomy and astrophysics, this volume gives a
practical overview and introduction to the tools and techniques of
HTRA. Just as multi-spectral observations of astrophysical
phenomena are already yielding new scientific results, many
astronomers are optimistic that exploring the time domain will open
up an important new frontier in observational astronomy over the
next decade.
