| Abstract
| - We report results from a re-analysis of the BeppoSAX observation of Coma and from the analysis of a second, yet unpublished observation of the same object. From our re-analysis of the first observation we find that the statistical evidence for a hard tail is about 2 σ. From the analysis of the second observation which, thanks to the lower background and the longer exposure time, is characterized by a larger signal-to-noise we find no evidence for a hard tail. From the upper limit on the flux of the hard tail, using the standard Inverse Compton formulae, we derive a lower limit for the magnetic of ${\sim} 0.2{-}0.4\ \mu\rm{Gauss}$ consistent with Faraday rotation measurements.
