Using data from the All Wavelength Extended Groth Strip International Survey(AEGIS) we statistically detect the extended X-ray emission in the interstellarmedium (ISM)/intra-cluster medium (ICM) in both active and normal galaxies at0.3 <= z <= 1.3. For both active galactic nuclei (AGN) host galaxy and normalgalaxy samples that are matched in restframe color, luminosity, and redshiftdistribution, we tentatively detect excess X-ray emission at scales of 1--10arcsec at a few sigma significance in the surface brightness profiles. Theexact significance of this detection is sensitive to the true characterizationof Chandra's point spread function. The observed excess in the surfacebrightness profiles is suggestive of lower extended emission in AGN hostscompared to normal galaxies. This is qualitatively similar to theoreticalpredictions of the X-ray surface brightness profile from AGN feedback models,where feedback from AGN is likely to evacuate the gas from the center of thegalaxy/cluster. We propose that AGN that are intrinsically under-luminous inX-rays, but have equivalent bolometric luminosities to our sources will be theideal sample to study more robustly the effect of AGN feedback on diffuseISM/ICM gas.
