Abstract

We study the weighted light ray transform LL of integrating functions on a Lorentzian manifold over lightlike geodesics. We analyze LL as a Fourier Integral Operator and show that if there are no conjugate points, one can recover the spacelike singularities of a function ff from its the weighted light ray transform LfLf by a suitable filtered back-projection.
