Inverting Spherical Radon Transform by a Closed-form Formula: A Microlocal Analytic Point of View

Let $\mR$ be the restriction of the spherical Radon transform to the set of spheres centered on a hypersurface $\mS$. We study the inversion of $\mR$ by a closed-form formula. We approach the problem by studying an oscillatory integral, which depends on the observation surface $\mS$ as a parameter. We then derive various microlocal analytic properties of the associated closed-form inversion formula.
