The design of the wide field monitor for LOFT
S. Brandt, M. Hernanz, L. Alvarez +41
LOFT (Large Observatory For x-ray Timing) is one of the ESA M3 missions selected within the Cosmic Vision program in 2011 to carry out an assessment phase study and compete for a l…
Optimisation of the design for the LOFT Large Area Detector Module
D. Walton, B. Winter, S. Zane +25
LOFT (Large Observatory for X-ray Timing) is an X-ray timing observatory that, with four other candidates, was considered by ESA as an M3 mission (with launch in 2022-2024) and has…

C. Tenzer, A. Argan, A. Cros +10
The Large Observatory for X-ray Timing (LOFT) is one of the five mission candidates that were considered by ESA for an M3 mission (with a launch opportunity in 2022 - 2024). LOFT f…
Hyper-velocity impact test and simulation of a double-wall shield concept for the Wide Field Monitor aboard LOFT
E. Perinati, M. Rott, A. Santangelo +10
The space mission LOFT (Large Observatory For X-ray Timing) was selected in 2011 by ESA as one of the candidates for the M3 launch opportunity. LOFT is equipped with two instrument…
A double-peaked outburst of A 0535+26 observed with INTEGRAL, RXTE, and Suzaku
I. Caballero, K. Pottschmidt, D. M. Marcu +18
The Be/X-ray binary A 0535+26 showed a normal (type I) outburst in August 2009. It is the fourth in a series of normal outbursts associated with the periastron, but is unusual by p…
Understanding the Last Mile - Physics of the Accretion Column
Peter Kretschmar, Peter A. Becker, Dipankar Bhattacharya +17
Accreting X-ray pulsars are among the best observed objects of X-ray astronomy with a rich data set of observational phenomena in the spectral and timing domain. While the general…
