Caption: Figure 8.

Left: Centaurus A image generated from the 2016 COSI-Balloon flight data. The cyan circle drawn at the known source location with the ARM radius of 9° is shown to represent the instrument resolution for the energy bin 220–325 keV. Right: Centaurus A spectrum as measured by NuSTAR (black, red), Swift-BAT (green), and the COSI-Balloon instrument (blue), fit with a power law. The fit has a photon index of Γ = 1.732 ± 0.008 and a reduced-χ2 value of 1.2 (see Table 4).
