Dynamics of intracluster gas and bulk motions in clusters.
In this paper I briefly discuss progress in recent lines of research on the internal dynamics of clusters of galaxies that have been made possible thanks to improvements in current X-ray spectrometers that enable them to perform detailed spatially resolved spectroscopy. In particular, I focus on the study of bulk motion in intracluster gas and the nature of features called cold fronts.
