Measuring turbulence and gas motions in galaxy clusters via synthetic<i>Athena</i>X-IFU observations
The X-ray Integral Field Unit (X-IFU) that will be on board the Athena telescope will provide an unprecedented view of the intracluster medium (ICM) kinematics through the observation of gas velocity, $v$, and velocity dispersion, $w$, via centroid-shift and broadening of emission lines, respectively. The improvement of data quality and …
