Cosmic Microwave Background Spectral Distortions from Cosmic String Loops
Madeleine Anthonisen, Robert Brandenberger, Alex Laguë +2
Cosmic string loops contain cusps which decay by emitting bursts of particles. A significant fraction of the released energy is in the form of photons. These photons are injected n…

Constraints on cosmic strings from ultracompact minihalos
Madeleine Anthonisen, Robert Brandenberger, Pat Scott
Cosmic strings are expected to form loops. These can act as seeds for accretion of dark matter, leading to the formation of ultracompact minihalos (UCMHs). We perform a detailed st…
