Scientific paper

A comprehensive search for ICM bulk motions in the ASCA archive resulted in the discovery of significant ICM velocities of >2000 km/s in RXJ0419.6+0225. Such high gas velocities have a profound impact on our our understanding of formation and evolution of clusters and in determining cluster physical characteristics such as ICM mass and energetics. Therefore, independent confirmation and improved measurements of this discovery is very important. For this study it is crucial that the instrumental gain be stable and that we know its variations across the detectors. That makes Chandra the best satellite to carry on this analysis. The observational strategy proposed here has been used successfully before by the authors and allows us to eliminate the concern about intrachip gain variation.
