We study winds in 12 X-ray AGN host galaxies at z∼1. We find, using the low-ionization Fe II λ2586 absorption in the stacked spectra, that the probability distribution function (PDF) of the centroid-velocity shift in AGNs has 50th (median), 16th, and 84th percentiles of (-87, -251, +86) km s^–1 respectively. The PDF of the velocity dispersion in AGNs has 50th (median), 84th, and 16th percentiles of (139, 253, 52) km s^–1 respectively. The centroid velocity and the velocity dispersions are obtained from a two-component (ISM+wind) absorption-line model. The equivalent width PDF of the outflow in AGNs has 50th (median), 84th, and 16th percentiles of (0.4, 0.8, 0.1) Å. There is a strong ISM component in Fe II λ2586 absorption (with (1.2, 1.5, 0.8) Å, implying the presence of a substantial amount cold gas in the host galaxies. For comparison, star-forming and X-ray undetected galaxies at a similar redshift, matched roughly in stellar mass and galaxy inclination, have a centroid-velocity PDF with percentiles of (-74, -258, +90) km s^–1, and a velocity-dispersion PDF with percentiles of (150, 259, 57) km s^–1. Thus, winds in the AGN are similar to star formation-driven winds, and are too weak to escape and expel substantial cool gas from galaxies. Our sample doubles the previous sample of AGNs studied at z∼0.5 and extends the analysis to z∼1. A joint reanalysis of the z∼0.5 AGN sample and our sample yields consistent results to the measurements above.
