Abstract: We prove a local version of a recently established theorem by Myroshnychenko, Ryabogin and the second named author. More specifically, we show that if

n g e q 3

,

g : m a t h b b S^{n - 1} o m a t h b b R

is an even bounded measurable function,

U

is an open subset of

m a t h b b S^{n - 1}

and the restriction (section) of

f

onto any great sphere perpendicular to

U

is isotropic, then

c a l C (g) |_{U} = c + l a n g l e a, c d o t a n g l e

and

c a l R (g) |_{U} = c^{'}

, for some fixed constants

c, c^{'} i n m a t h b b R

and for some fixed vector

a i n m a t h b b R^{n}

. Here,

c a l C (g)

denotes the cosine transform and

c a l R (g)

denotes the Funk transform of

g

. However, we show that

g

does not need to be equal to a constant almost everywhere in

. For the needs of our proofs, we obtain a new generalization of a result from classical differential geometry, in the setting of convex hypersurfaces, that we believe is of independent interest.
