Spectroscopic Time-Resolving Observatory for Broadband Energy X-ray high-energy modular array
The high-energy modular array (HEMA) is one of three instruments that compose the Spectroscopic Time-Resolving Observatory for Broadband Energy X-rays (STROBE-X) mission concept. The HEMA is a large-area, high-throughput non-imaging pointed instrument based on the large area detector (LAD) developed as part of the Large Observatory For X-ray Timing (LOFT) mission concept. It is designed for spectral timing measurements of a broad range of sources and provides a transformative increase in sensitivity to X-rays in the energy range of 2 to 30 keV compared with previous instruments, with an effective area of 3.4 m2 at 8.5 keV and an energy resolution of better than 300 at 6 keV in its nominal field of regard.
