摘要：
We continue exploring the constraining capabilities of x-ray reflection spectroscopy to test the Kerr-nature of astrophysical black holes, and we present the results of our analysis of two NuSTAR observations of Cygnus X-1 in the soft state. We find that the final measurement can strongly depend on the assumption of the intensity profile. We conclude that Cygnus X-1 is not suitable for tests of general relativity using x-ray reflection spectroscopy, and we discuss the desired properties of a source to be a good candidate for our studies.
