Superfast photometry comprises the study of time-varying phenomena whose characteristic time scale is less than the mean time between two photons. Astronomical objects whose light curve can be varied in a random manner are considered, and the possibility of knowing the distribution function parameters in the case of a characteristic time smaller than the average time interval between two photons is demonstrated. The sensitivity of the method is computed, and its usefulness is investigated through consideration of X-ray and gamma-ray satellites in current use and those planned for the next development generation.
