black holes and other
compact objects by means of their very rapid
X-ray variability. LOFT is supported by a large international collaboration, led by researchers spread over most of the European countries, including

Greece,
Ireland, the
Netherlands,
Poland,
Czech Republic,

Loft
loft can be an upper
storey or
attic in a
building, directly under the
roof. Alternatively, a
loft apartment refers to large adaptable open space, often
converted for residential use (a
converted loft) from some other use, often light industrial. Adding to the confusion, some converted lofts include upper open loft areas. Within certain upper loft areas exist even further lofts, which may contain loft areas of their own, and so forth.
