摘要: In active galactic nuclei (AGN), fluorescent Fe K$\alpha$ (iron) line
emission is generally interpreted as originating from obscuring material around
a supermassive black hole (SMBH) on the scale of a few parsecs (pc). However,
recent Chandra studies indicate the existence of iron line emission extending
to kpc scales in the host galaxy. The connection between iron line emission and
large-scale material can be spatially resolved directly only in nearby
galaxies, but could be inferred in more distant AGNs by a connection between
line emission and star-forming gas and dust that is more extended than the
pc-scale torus. Here we present the results from a stacking analysis and X-ray
spectral fitting performed on sources in the Chandra Deep Field South (CDFS) 7
Ms observations. From the deep stacked spectra, we select sources with stellar
mass $\log(M_*/M_\odot)>10$ at $0.5
