Hello. I'm wondering if anyone has a table of transforms showing the result of an Abel transform on a Gaussian distribution. I have been unable to find the solution to this. Many thanks for any help. I'm reconstructing an an image from a picture that fits a Gaussian very well, hence I'm hoping to just use an analytical solution.

and the answer is...

So I found the solution described as f(r) -> f(x):

exp(-r2/2σ2) -> (2π)1/2σ*exp(-x2/2σ2)

The added constant does not change the the value of sigma so, which doesn't make sense to me. When viewing the line itegral, shouldn't the distribution appear more narrow?
