The Close AGN Reference Survey (CARS): No evidence of galaxy-scale hot
  outflows in two nearby AGN
  Aims: We probe the radiatively-efficient, hot wind feedback mode in two
nearby luminous unobscured (type 1) AGN from the Close AGN Reference Survey
(CARS), which show intriguing kpc-scale arc-like features of extended [OIII]
ionized gas as mapped with VLT-MUSE. We aimed to detect hot gas bubbles that
would indicate the existence of powerful, galaxy-scale outflows in our targets,
HE 0227-0931 and HE 0351+0240, from deep (200 ks) Chandra observations.
Methods: By measuring the spatial and spectral properties of the extended X-ray
emission and comparing with the sub kpc-scale IFU data, we are able to
constrain feedback scenarios and directly test if the ionized gas is due to a
shocked wind. Results: No extended hot gas emission on kpc-scales was detected.
Unless the ambient medium density is low ($n_{H}\sim~1$ cm$^{-3}$ at 100 pc),
the inferred upper limits on the extended X-ray luminosities are well below
what is expected from theoretical models at matching AGN luminosities.
Conclusions: We conclude that the highly-ionized gas structures on kpc scales
are not inflated by a hot outflow in either target, and instead are likely
caused by photo-ionization of pre-existing gas streams of different origins.
Our non-detections suggest that extended X-ray emission from an AGN-driven wind
is not universal, and may lead to conflicts with current theoretical
predictions.
