  • We present the results of an XMM-Newton mosaic covering the central ~200kpc of the nearby Virgo cluster. We focus on a strong surface brightness discontinuity in the outskirts of the brightest cluster galaxy (BCG), M87. Using both XMM-Newton and Suzaku, we derive accurate temperature and metallicity profiles across this feature and show that
