Scientific paper

We discuss various ways of measuring ICM velocities using current and future X-ray observatories. In particular, we focus on (i) the resonant scattering effect in X-ray lines, which provides interesting constraints on the amplitudes, spatial scales and anisotropy of motions in centers of clusters, and (ii) on fluctuations of the X-ray surface brightness. The next generation of high spectral resolution X-ray observatories will be able to measure shift and broadening of lines with high accuracy. Using simulations of galaxy clusters we investigate the relation of these observables with the structure function and the power spectrum of gas motions.
