Abstract (from CDS):

We present high-speed photometry (resolution 0.1 s) obtained during the commissioning of the Berkely Visible Imaging Tube system on the Southern African Large Telescope (SALT). The observations were an attempt to search for very rapid p-mode oscillations in white dwarf stars and included three DA stars known to be g-mode pulsators (ZZ Cet, HK Cet and AF Pic), one other DA star (WD 1056-384) not known to be variable and one AM Cvn star (HP Lib). No evidence was found for any variations greater than about 1mmag in amplitude ( ∼ 0.1per cent) at frequencies in excess of 60mHz (periods <17 s) in any of the target stars, though several previously known g-mode frequencies were recovered.
