Abstract	Observations the bright Seyfert galaxies MCG-05-23-16 and IC 4329A with NuSTARand XMM for 80 ks are requested, simultaneously to their IXPE pointings. The twoobjects have been identified as high priority targets for IXPE in its first yearof operations. X-ray polarimetry has the potentiality to provide constraints ontheir coronal geometry, but the polarimetric signal is partly degenerate withrespect to the various geometrical and physical parameters of the accretiondisk-corona system.

Mission Description	The European Space Agencys (ESA) X-ray Multi-Mirror Mission (XMM-Newton) was launched by an Ariane 504 on December 10th 1999. XMM-Newton is ESAs second cornerstone of the Horizon 2000 Science Programme. It carries 3 high throughput X-ray telescopes with an unprecedented effective area, and an optical monitor, the first flown on a X-ray observatory. The large collecting area and ability to make long uninterrupted exposures provide highly sensitive observations. Since Earths atmosphere blocks out all X-rays, only a telescope in space can detect and study celestial X-ray sources. The XMM-Newton mission is helping scientists to solve a number of cosmic mysteries, ranging from the enigmatic black holes to the origins of the Universe itself. Observing time on XMM-Newton is being made available to the scientific community, applying for observational periods on a competitive basis.
