Description
X-ray polarimetry is expected to contribute to our understanding
of Radio Quiet AGN in at least two ways: by constraining the geometry of the hot corona in unobscured sources, thereby providing clues to its nature; by measuring the geometrical parameters of circumnuclear matter, especially in heavily obscured sources.
In this talk, first IXPE (Imaging X-ray Polarimetry Explorer) results on Radio Quiet AGN will be presented and discussed.
