Summary:

The aim of the school is to give advanced courses in the scientific  objectives of High Time Resolution Astrophysics (HTRA) as well as the techniques used to take and reduce  HTRA observations, from radio to gamma-rays. The school program also includes a one day tutorial and practical session on the analysis of  multi-wavelength HTRA data.

The scientific programme of the School covers the following topics:

• Periodic and aperiodic variability in astrophysics, object reviews, observations and theory (Pulsars and Neutron Stars, X-ray Binaries, Cataclismic Variables and Ultra Compact Binaries, Transients, Stellar Oscillations and Astro-seismology, Transits and Occultations, Gamma-ray Bursts)
• Multi-wavelength methodology, instruments and detectors
• Absolute timing, time frames, data analysis techniques, and time series statistics
• Data analysis tool tutorials
• Practical sessions

Invited Lecturers are:

• M. Barbieri (Observatorie de la Cote D'Azur)
• T. Belloni (OAM-INAF)
• G.L. Israel (OAR-INAF)
• S. Jeffery (Armagh Observatory)
• S. Mereghetti (IASF-INAF)
• D. Steeghs (University of Warwick)
• L. Guillemot (Max Planck Institut)
• G. Naletto (Uni. Padua)
• P. Saaz-Parkinson (Santa Cruz Institute for Particle Physics)
• N. Tanvir (University Leicester)
• J. Trumper (MPE)

The  target audience will be primarily first and second year PhD students.  Participation will be limited to forty students. The school will be held at the Technology Park of Sardinia in Santa Margherita di Pula,  which offers a wide range of facilities, including laboratories and  information technology equipment. The accomodation will be at the Hotel Flamingo Resort , located right on the beach, about 5km from the workshop venue.
