High resolution X-ray spectroscopy, when combined with multiwavelength imaging, is a powerful tool for probing the circumnuclear environments of Seyfert galaxies. Here, we present results from Chandra, HST, and VLA observations of the nearby Seyfert 2 galaxy NGC 2110. We find resolved soft X-ray emission 4'' (650 pc) north of the nucleus, which is spatially coincident with [OIII] emission, but lies just beyond the northern edge of the radio jet in the source. We discuss different models that may account for the extended emission, including shock heating, electron scattering, and photoionization, and combine the results from these imaging data with a 200 ks Chandra HETGS spectroscopic study of NGC 2110 to assess the nuclear and circumnuclear contributions to the integrated X-ray emission.
