In this paper, we study the Heston stochastic volatility model in a regime where the maturity is small but large compared to the mean-reversion time of the stochastic volatility factor. We derive a large deviation principle and compute the rate function by a precise study of the moment generating function and its asymptotic. We then obtain asymptotic prices for out-of-the-money call and put options and their corresponding implied volatilities.
