Abstract (from CDS):

We report the hard X-ray spectrum of the Coma Cluster obtained using the Phoswich Detection System data of two independent BeppoSAX observations performed with a time interval of about 3 yr. In both the spectra a nonthermal excess with respect to the thermal emission is present at a confidence level of ∼3.4 σ. The combined spectrum obtained by adding up the two spectra allows a measurement of the excess at the level of ∼4.8 σ at energies above 20 keV. The analysis of the full BeppoSAX data set provides a revised nonthermal X-ray flux that is slightly lower than that previously estimated (Fusco-Femiano et al.) and in agreement with that measured by two Rossi X-Ray Timing Explorer observations. The analysis of the offset fields in our Coma observations provides a possible flux determination of the BL Lac object 1ES 1255+244.
