Caption: Figure 3.
Predicted 0.5–8 keV X-ray luminosity (top panel), emissivity-weighted average velocity (middle panel), and temperature (bottom panel) of circumnuclear medium shocked by the expanding hot winds within central 10 pc for M81* and NGC 7213. Dashed lines and shadow regions in the top and middle panels mark the observed value and 90% error bar for the blueshifted gas component. The shadow region in the bottom panel gives the temperature constraints from line ratios. Continuously injection of hot winds causes the shocked medium to remain hot (∼106–∼107 K) and keep going outward with a speed of about ∼103 km s−1.
