Limits on stochastic magnetic fields: A defense of our paper [1]

Abstract

In their recent paper ``Faraday rotation of the cosmic microwave background polarization by a stochastic magnetic field'', Kosowsky et al. Phys.Rev. D71, 043006 (2005) have commented about our paper [C.Caprini and R.Durrer, Phys. Rev. D65, 023517 (2002)], in which we derived very strong limits on the amplitude of a primordial magnetic field from gravitational wave production. They argue that our limits are erroneous. In this short comment we defend our result.
