Turbulence in the intracluster medium: an observational synopsis

Clusters of galaxies can be viewed as laboratories to probe plasma physics in regimes largely unseen elsewhere in the Universe. From AGN accretion and feedback in the cores of clusters of galaxies to accretion shocks at cluster outskirts and processes present in between, turbulence is expected to be an important aspect of the intracluster medium (ICM). In particular, it is expected to be the dominant source of non-thermal pressure support and it will also be relevant in energy transport. In this talk I will briefly overview past works to probe the turbulent motions of the ICM and give some insight of what we may see in the near future.
