abstract = "High-time-resolution X-ray observations of compact objects provide
direct access to strong-field gravity, to the equation of state of
ultradense matter and to black hole masses and spins. A 10 m
2-class instrument in combination with good spectral resolution is
required to exploit the relevant diagnostics and answer two of the
fundamental questions of the European Space Agency (ESA) Cosmic
Vision Theme Matter under extreme conditions, namely: does matter
orbiting close to the event horizon follow the predictions of
general relativity? What is the equation of state of matter in
neutron stars? The Large Observatory For X-ray Timing (LOFT),
selected by ESA as one of the four Cosmic Vision M3 candidate
missions to undergo an assessment phase, will revolutionise the
study of collapsed objects in our galaxy and of the brightest
supermassive black holes in active galactic nuclei. Thanks to an
innovative design and the development of large-area monolithic
silicon drift detectors, the Large Area Detector (LAD) on board
LOFT will achieve an effective area of \∼12 m2 (more than
an order of magnitude larger than any spaceborne predecessor) in
the 230 keV range (up to 50 keV in expanded mode), yet still fits
a conventional platform and small/medium-class launcher. With this
large area and a spectral resolution of <260 eV, LOFT will yield
unprecedented information on strongly curved spacetimes and matter
under extreme conditions of pressure and magnetic field
strength.",
