We study the X-ray transform over a generic family of smooth curves in $\mathbb{R}^2$ with a Riemannian metric $g$. We show that the singularities cannot be recovered from local data in the presence of conjugate points, and therefore…

We reduce boundary determination of an unknown function and its normal derivatives from the (possibly weighted and attenuated) broken ray data to the injectivity of certain geodesic ray transforms on the boundary. For determination of the…
