On the degeneracy between primordial tensor modes and cosmic strings in future CMB data from Planck
Jon Urrestilla, Pia Mukherjee, Andrew R. Liddle +3
While observations indicate that the predominant source of cosmic inhomogeneities are adiabatic perturbations, there are a variety of candidates to provide auxiliary trace effects,…
Cosmic microwave anisotropies from BPS semilocal strings
Jon Urrestilla, Neil Bevis, Mark Hindmarsh +2
We present the first ever calculation of cosmic microwave background CMB anisotropy power spectra from semilocal cosmic strings, obtained via simulations of a classical field theor…
CMB power spectrum contribution from cosmic strings using field-evolution simulations of the Abelian Higgs model
Neil Bevis, Mark Hindmarsh, Martin Kunz +1
We present the first field-theoretic calculations of the contribution made by cosmic strings to the temperature power spectrum of the cosmic microwave background (CMB). Unlike prev…
