abstract = {The blazar TXS 0506+056 has been the first astrophysical
source associated with high-energy astrophysical neutrinos,
and it has emerged as the second-most-prominent hotspot in
the neutrino sky over ten years of observations. Although
neutrino production in blazars has traditionally been
attributed to processes in the powerful relativistic jet,
the observation of a significant neutrino flux from NGC 1068
-- presumably coming from the Active Galactic Nucleus (AGN)
corona -- suggests that neutrinos can also be produced in
the cores of AGN. This raises the question whether neutrino
production in TXS~0506+056 is also associated with the core
region. We study this scenario, focusing on the hypothesis
that this blazar is a masquerading BL Lac, a high-excitation
quasar with hidden broad emission lines and a standard
accretion disk. We show that magnetic reconnection is an
acceleration process necessary to reach tens of PeV proton
energies, and we use observationally motivated estimates of
the X-ray luminosity of the coronal region to predict the
emission of secondaries and compare them to the observed
multi-wavelength and neutrino spectra of the source. We find
that the coronal neutrino emission from TXS 0506+056 is too
low to describe the IceCube observed neutrinos from this
AGN, which in turn suggests that the blazar jet remains the
preferred location for neutrino production.},
