The STROBE-X Low Energy Modular Array (LEMA) Instrument
Keith C. Gendreau, Dominic Maes, Ronald A. Remillard +4
The Low Energy Modular Array (LEMA) is one of three instruments that compose the STROBE-X mission concept. The LEMA is a large effective-area, high throughput, non-imaging pointed…
STROBE-X Mission Overview
Paul S. Ray, Peter W. A. Roming, Andrea Argan +54
We give an overview of the science objectives and mission design of the Spectroscopic Time-Resolving Observatory for Broadband Energy X-rays (STROBE-X) observatory, which has been…
An Empirical Background Model for the NICER X-ray Timing Instrument
Ronald A. Remillard, Michael Loewenstein, James F. Steiner +11
NICER has a comparatively low background rate, but it is highly variable, and its spectrum must be predicted using measurements unaffected by the science target. We describe an emp…
Phase Fresnel Lens Development for X-ray and Gamma-ray Astronomy
John Krizmanic, Gerald Skinner, Zaven Arzoumanian +8
In principle, diffractive optics, particularly Phase Fresnel Lenses (PFLs), offer the ability to construct large, diffraction-limited, and highly efficient X-ray/-ray telescopes…
STROBE-X: A probe-class mission for X-ray spectroscopy and timing on timescales from microseconds to years
Paul S. Ray, Zaven Arzoumanian, Søren Brandt +30
We describe the Spectroscopic Time-Resolving Observatory for Broadband Energy X-rays (STROBE-X), a probe-class mission concept that will provide an unprecedented view of the X-ray…
The ASTRO-H X-ray Observatory
Tadayuki Takahashi, Kazuhisa Mitsuda, Richard Kelley +220
The joint JAXA/NASA ASTRO-H mission is the sixth in a series of highly successful X-ray missions initiated by the Institute of Space and Astronautical Science (ISAS). ASTRO-H will…
