摘要:High time resolution (HTRA) observations of phenomena such as occultations, transits and photometric lightcurves can provide direct and indirect information unaccessible to many other techniques. I will outline the scientific drivers for HTRA in these areas, and highlight some representative results in areas of stellar and planetary physics. I will review the observational capabilities available at present, in particular at the European Southern Observatory, and those that could become available in the near future.
