Particle emission and gravitational radiation from cosmic strings: observational constraints
P. Auclair, D. A. Steer, T. Vachaspati
We account for particle emission and gravitational radiation from cosmic string loops to determine their effect on the loop distribution and observational signatures of strings. Th…
Probing the gravitational wave background from cosmic strings with LISA
Pierre Auclair, Jose J. Blanco-Pillado, Daniel G. Figueroa +8
Cosmic string networks offer one of the best prospects for detection of cosmological gravitational waves (GWs). The combined incoherent GW emission of a large number of string loop…
The Missing Link in Gravitational-Wave Astronomy: Discoveries waiting in the decihertz range
Manuel Arca Sedda, Christopher P. L. Berry, Karan Jani +27
The gravitational-wave astronomical revolution began in 2015 with LIGO's observation of the coalescence of two stellar-mass black holes. Over the coming decades, ground-based detec…
Cosmic string loop production functions
Pierre Auclair, Christophe Ringeval, Mairi Sakellariadou +1
Numerical simulations of Nambu-Goto cosmic strings in an expanding universe show that the loop distribution relaxes to an universal configuration, the so-called scaling regime, whi…
