Description

I will present new observational constraints on large-scale thermal conductivity of the ICM, based on radial profiles for relaxed clusters. Constraints on electron-proton equilibration timescale from new analysis of the shock front in A520 and reanalysis of the shock in Bullet will also be presented.
