high-speed astrophysics

dynamical timescales of white dwarfs and neutron stars/black holes are of order seconds and milliseconds, respectively.

timescale	science
0.1-1 s	eclipsing binary stars eclipse mapping asteroseismology flickering and oscillations in accretion discs
0.01-0.1 s	echo mapping precise timing studies shift-and-add imaging speckle imaging non-redundant mask imaging
0.001-0.01 s	neutron star and black-hole binaries pulsars occultations GRBs
