Abstract
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 based on the Large Area Detector developed as part of the 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 2–30 keV compared to previous instruments, with an effective area of 3.4 m2 at 8.5 keV and an energy resolution of better than 300 eV at 6 keV in its nominal field of regard.
