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 instrument derived from the X-ray timing instrument of the Neutron Star Interior Composition Explorer (NICER) mission. The LEMA is designed for spectral-timing measurements of a variety of celestial X-ray sources, providing a transformative increase in sensitivity to photons in the 0.2 to 12 keV energy range compared with past missions, with an effective area (at 1.5 keV) of 16,000 cm2 and an energy resolution of 85 eV at 1 keV.
