Left: Cygnus X-1 RL image generated from the 2016 COSI-Balloon flight data. The pixels are separated into 6 bins, and the cyan circle drawn at the known source location with the ARM radius of 8° is shown to represent the instrument resolution for the energy bin 325–480 keV Right: Cygnus X-1 spectrum as measured by NuSTAR (black, red), Swift-BAT (green), INTEGRAL/IBIS (cyan), and the COSI-Balloon instrument (blue), fit with a cutoff power law. The fit has a cutoff energy of 134.8 keV and reduced-χ2 value of 1.4 (see Table 3).
