contents We consider the imaging of cosmic strings by using Cosmic Microwave Background (CMB) data. Mathematically, we study the inversion of an X-ray transform in Lorentzian geometry, called the light ray transform. The inverse problem is highly ill-posed, with additional complexities of being large-scale and dynamic, with unknown parameters that represent multidimensional objects. This presents significant computational challenges for the numerical reconstruction of images that have high spatial and temporal resolution. In this paper, we begin with a microlocal stability analysis for inverting the light ray transform using the Landweber iteration. Next, we discretize the spatiotemporal object and light ray transform and consider iterative computational methods for solving the resulting inverse problem. We provide a numerical investigation and comparison of some advanced iterative methods for regularization including Tikhonov and sparsity-promoting regularizers for various example scalar functions with conormal type singularities.
