Abstract (from CDS):

We examine deep XMM-Newton Reflection Grating Spectrometer observations of the X-ray luminous galaxy cluster A1835. For the first time in a galaxy cluster, we place direct limits on turbulent broadening of the emission lines. This is possible because the coolest X-ray emitting gas in the cluster, which is responsible for the lines, occupies a small region within the core. The most conservative determination of the 90 per cent upper limit on line-of-sight, non-thermal, velocity broadening is, measured from the emission lines originating within 30kpc radius. The ratio of turbulent to thermal energy density in the core is therefore less than 13 per cent. There are no emission lines in the spectrum showing evidence for gas below ∼3.5 keV. We examine the quantity of gas as a function of temperature and place a limit of (90 per cent) for gas cooling radiatively below 3.85keV.
