ABSTRACT
Despite its importance for understanding cluster physics, there are few direct measurements of the ICM velocity structure. Hitomi measured line broadening in Perseus through its groundbreaking high resolution spectrum, but due to its loss we may have to wait until Athena's 2028 launch to obtain similar data. Here we propose a novel technique to use the fluorescent background emission lines seen in the EPIC-PN detector to calibrate the energy scale to a high precision and so measure bulk motions within the Virgo and Centaurus clusters. We shall reach accuracies of 100-200 km/s around the inner 7 arcmin, increasing to 400 km/s at 16 arcmin radius. Secondary aims include using the RGS grating spectra to constrain/measure the velocity of cool material around the central AGN.

PAPERS
Authors marked in red are (co-)investigators in the proposal

Classification of papers are:
- CLASS 1:   papers that present specific XMM-Newton observations
- CLASS 2: papers that refer to published XMM-Newton results with complementary observations, follow-up analysis, or theoretical analysis
- CLASS 3: further deliveries which resulted from the program and which are made available to the community (e.g. source catalogues, processed images or spectra in public data base)
- CLASS 4: comments and suggestions from PI
