Description

I will show new X-ray results confirming the existence of the most
energetic AGN explosion ever found in a galaxy cluster. New radio data for the relic lobe will also be shown.

I will also show a mission concept for a new X-ray Probe, Line Emission Mapper, a microcalorimeter array with a large field of view sensitive to soft X-rays (exceeding Athena in grasp by factor 15), and solicit ideas for investigations of ICM physics.
