Beschreibungen/Notizen

• We present a brief description of the Berkeley Visible Imaging Tube (BVIT) detector system, which is a user instrument on the 10-m Southern African Large Telescope (SALT), and include some preliminary observational results gained in mid-2011. The data show that BVIT is capable of revealing emission features occurring on time-scales of < 0.1 sec, thus opening up for the general user a window of high time-resolution astronomy at visible wavelengths.
