Distribution of X-ray morphological classifications for the 20 AGNs in our sample. 17 systems show biconical structures aligned with optical ionization cones, 2 display bubble-like morphologies suggestive of shock-heated outflows, and 1 (NGC 1365) exhibits a more complex structure influenced by both AGN activity and circumnuclear star formation. The classification is based on the radial and azimuthal profiles shown in Figures 3–7.
