Scientific paper

Only now, with Chandra, can we finally image the hot gas in Large-Scale (kpc) Outflows (LSOs) in Seyferts and (a) study its X-ray morphology, (b) obtain reliable temperatures and luminosities, and (c) infer the density, mass, pressure and cooling time. These quantities can be compared with pressures, kinetic energy rates, and masses from models based on optical kinematic and radio data. The LSO in NGC 2992 is quite different from those that have already been observed with Chandra and have linear nuclear radio structures. It has a diffuse sub-kpc radio structure (but NO starburst) and a wide-angled outflow. We shall use the Chandra X-ray data with our optical Fabry-Perot data, radio images, and published ionization results to diagnose the LSO in NGC2992.
