Hubble Space Telescope Observations of Extended [O III] {\lambda}5007
  Emission in Nearby QSO2s: New Constraints On AGN / Host Galaxy Interaction
  We present a Hubble Space Telescope (HST) survey of extended [O III]
{\lambda}5007 emission for a sample of 12 nearby (z < 0.12), luminous Type 2
quasars (QSO2s), which we use to measure the extent and kinematics of their
AGN-ionized gas. We find the size of the observed [O III] regions scale with
luminosity in comparison to nearby, less luminous Seyfert galaxies and radially
outflowing kinematics to exist in all targets. We report an average maximum
outflow radius of $\sim$600 pc, with gas continuing to be kinematically
influenced by the central AGN out to an average radius of $\sim$1130 pc. These
findings question the effectiveness of AGN being capable of clearing material
from their host bulge in the nearby universe and suggest that disruption of gas
by AGN activity may prevent star formation without requiring evacuation.
Additionally, we find a dichotomy in our targets when comparing [O III] radial
extent and nuclear FWHM, where QSO2s with compact [O III] morphologies
typically possess broader nuclear emission-lines.
