X-ray Surface Brightness Profiles of Optically Selected Active Galactic
  Nuclei: Comparison with X-ray AGN
  We use data from the All Wavelength Extended Groth Strip International Survey
to construct stacked X-ray maps of optically bright active galaxies (AGN) and
an associated control sample of galaxies at high redshift (z less than 0.6).
From our analysis of the surface brightness profiles obtained from these X-ray
maps, we find evidence of feedback from the active nuclei. We find that
excluding galaxies and AGN, residing in group environments, from our samples
enhances the significance of our detection. Our results support the tentative
findings of Chatterjee et al. who use X-ray selected AGN for their analysis. We
discuss the implications of these results in the context of quantifying AGN
feedback and show that the current method can be used to extract X-ray source
population in high redshift galaxies.
