Comparisons between Chandra X-ray contours and optically decomposed 2D fractional contribution maps for IC 5063, Mrk 573, and NGC 1386. Left panels: X-ray contours in the photoionization-dominated energy band (white) overlaid on the optical AGN fractional contribution maps. Right panels: X-ray contours in the thermal-dominated energy band (white) overlaid on the optical shock (fast+pure shock) fractional contribution maps. Red stars outlined in black mark X-ray point sources identified by RM26 as likely contaminants, such as X-ray binaries.
