The Cygnus-X star-forming complex is one of the most active regions of lowand high mass star formation within 2 kpc of the Sun. Using mid-infraredphotometry from the IRAC and MIPS Spitzer Cygnus-X Legacy Survey, we haveidentified over 1800 protostar candidates. We compare the protostellarluminosity functions of two regions within Cygnus-X: CygX-South and CygX-North.These two clouds show distinctly different morphologies suggestive ofdissimilar star-forming environments. We find the luminosity functions of thesetwo regions are statistically different. Furthermore, we compare the luminosityfunctions of protostars found in regions of high and low stellar density withinCygnus-X and find that the luminosity function in regions of high stellardensity is biased to higher luminosities. In total, these observations providefurther evidence that the luminosities of protostars depend on their natalenvironment. We discuss the implications this dependence has for the starformation process.
