Scientific paper

We detected the signature of turbulence in the ICM of the Coma cluster. Of special importance is the determination of the dissipation scale where turbulent kinetic energy is expected to be transformed into heat. Presently only upper observational limits could be determined with our previous 50 ks data of the central region. Thus we propose an additional 150 ks XMM-Newton observation of the center of the Coma galaxy cluster. This will push the spatially resolved gas pressure maps to the 20 arcsec angular resolution limit. The significantly deeper exposure will improve on the slope of the turbulence power spectrum, on the determination of the Reynold's number, and on the kinematic viscosity of the intra-cluster medium.
