dc.description.abstract<p>We report on the second observation of the radio-quiet active galactic nucleus MCG-05-23-16 performed with the <em>Imaging X-ray Polarimetry Explorer (IXPE)</em>. The observation started on 2022 November 6 for a net observing time of 640 ks, and was partly simultaneous with <em>NuSTAR</em> (86 ks). After combining these data with those obtained in the first <em>IXPE</em> pointing on 2022 May (simultaneous with <em>XMM–Newton</em> and <em>NuSTAR</em> ) we find a 2–8 keV polarization degree Π = 1.6 ± 0.7 (at 68 per cent confidence level), which corresponds to an upper limit Π = 3.2 per cent (at 99 per cent confidence level). We then compare the polarization results with Monte Carlo simulations obtained with the MONK code, with which different coronal geometries have been explored (spherical lamppost, conical, slab, and wedge). Furthermore, the allowed range of inclination angles is found for each geometry. If the best-fitting inclination value from a spectroscopic analysis is considered, a cone-shaped corona along the disc axis is disfavoured.<br></p>
