Abstract: We show logarithmic stability for the point source inverse backscattering problem under the assumption of angularly controlled potentials. Radial symmetry implies H"older stability. Importantly, we also show that the point source equation is well-posed and also that the associated characteristic initial value problem, or Goursat problem, is well-posed. These latter results are difficult to find in the literature in the form required by the stability proof.
