We present results from deep VIMOS IFU observations of NGC 4696, the brightest cluster galaxy in the Centaurus cluster, an extreme and nearby example of a cool core cluster. This galaxy exhibits the broadest range in X-ray temperatures seen in any cluster indicating that some cooling below a few million K takes place. For the first time, we present evidence for the existence of a 1 million K gas component in this object through the detection of [Fe X] coronal emission. Observations of this kind can in principle allow us to determine and map the spatial distribution and velocity structure in the hot gas, providing a critical missing piece of the puzzle in how heating and cooling is regulated in galaxy clusters.
