  We study the effects of feedback from active galactic nuclei (AGN) on
emission from molecular gas in galaxy mergers by combining hydrodynamic
simulations which include black holes with a three-dimensional, non-local
thermodynamic equilibrium (LTE) radiative transfer code. We find that molecular
clouds entrained in AGN winds produce an extended CO morphology with
significant off-nuclear emission, which may be detectable via contour mapping.
Furthermore, kinematic signatures of these molecular outflows are visible in
emission line profiles when the outflow has a large line of sight velocity. Our
results can help interpret current and upcoming observations of luminous
infrared galaxies, as well as provide a detailed test of subresolution
prescriptions for supermassive black hole growth in galaxy-scale hydrodynamic
simulations.
