15 Science with the SXS Ask people in this room

16 Main scientific objectives of the SXS Energy budget of clusters of galaxies and SNRs Thermal energy, bulk motion/turbulence energy, [and non-thermal energy by HXI] Gravitational potential and spin of black holes Broad/narrow emission/absorption lines Chemical enrichment of ICM and IGM; when, where, how elements are created and dispersed? N-Ni abundances of galaxies and clusters, resolving K and L lines Constraints on cosmological parameters from clusters Precise determination of mass of 30 nearby clusters, by measuring temperature, pressure, and bulk motion/turbulence.
