| Summary:

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 based on 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
0.2-12 keV energy range compared to past missions, with an effective area (at
1.5 keV) of 16,000 cm$^2$ and an energy resolution of 85 eV at 1 keV.
