We describe the Spectroscopic Time-Resolving Observatory for Broadband EnergyX-rays (STROBE-X), a probe-class mission concept that will provide anunprecedented view of the X-ray sky, performing timing and spectroscopy overboth a broad energy band (0.2-30 keV) and a wide range of timescales frommicroseconds to years. STROBE-X comprises two narrow-field instruments and awide field monitor. The soft or low-energy band (0.2-12 keV) is covered by anarray of lightweight optics (3-m focal length) that concentrate incidentphotons onto small solid-state detectors with CCD-level (85-175 eV) energyresolution, 100 ns time resolution, and low background rates. This technologyhas been fully developed for NICER and will be scaled up to take advantage ofthe longer focal length of STROBE-X. The higher-energy band (2-30 keV) iscovered by large-area, collimated silicon drift detectors that were developedfor the European LOFT mission concept. Each instrument will provide an order ofmagnitude improvement in effective area over its predecessor (NICER in the softband and RXTE in the hard band). Finally, STROBE-X offers a sensitivewide-field monitor (WFM), both to act as a trigger for pointed observations ofX-ray transients and also to provide high duty-cycle, high time-resolution, andhigh spectral-resolution monitoring of the variable X-ray sky. The WFM willboast approximately 20 times the sensitivity of the RXTE All-Sky Monitor,enabling multi-wavelength and multi-messenger investigations with a largeinstantaneous field of view. This mission concept will be presented to the 2020Decadal Survey for consideration.
