STROBE-X High Energy Modular Array (HEMA)
Anthony L. Hutcheson, Marco Feroci, Andrea Argan +64
The High Energy Modular Array (HEMA) is one of three instruments that compose the STROBE-X mission concept. The HEMA is a large-area, high-throughput non-imaging pointed instrument…
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 Intermediate Mass Black Hole Hidden Behind Thick Obscuration
Peter G. Boorman, Daniel Stern, Roberto J. Assef +12
Recent models suggest approximately half of all accreting supermassive black holes (SMBHs; 10 M) are expected to undergo intense growth phase…
Inferring the iron K emissivity profiles of accretion discs irradiated by extended coronae
Wenda Zhang, Michal Dovčiak, Michal Bursa +2
One of the most promising methods to measure the spin of an accreting black hole is fitting the broad iron K line in the X-ray spectrum. The line profile also depends on the geo…
An IXPE-Led X-ray Spectro-Polarimetric Campaign on the Soft State of Cygnus X-1: X-ray Polarimetric Evidence for Strong Gravitational Lensing
James F. Steiner, Edward Nathan, Kun Hu +134
We present the first X-ray spectropolarimetric results for Cygnus X-1 in its soft state from a campaign of five IXPE observations conducted during 2023 May-June. Companion multiwav…
Dramatic Drop in the X-Ray Polarization of Swift J1727.81613 in the Soft Spectral State
Jiří Svoboda, Michal Dovčiak, James F. Steiner +34
Black-hole X-ray binaries exhibit different spectral and timing properties in different accretion states. The X-ray outburst of a recently discovered and extraordinarily bright sou…
Timing of accreting neutron stars with future X-ray instruments: towards new constraints on dense matter equation of state
V. Karas, K. Klimovicova, D. Lancova +7
The Enhanced X-ray Timing and Polarimetry (eXTP) mission is a space mission to be launched in the late 2020s that is currently in development led by China in international collabor…
