Cosmic String Loops, Large and Small
Florian Dubath, Joseph Polchinski, Jorge V. Rocha
We extend our earlier model of the small scale structure of cosmic string networks through an improved treatment of the separation of long and short scales. We find that the produc…
Direct Observation of Cosmic Strings via their Strong Gravitational Lensing Effect: I. Predictions for High Resolution Imaging Surveys
Maria Alice Gasparini, Phil Marshall, Tommaso Treu +2
We use current theoretical estimates for the density of long cosmic strings to predict the number of strong gravitational lensing events in astronomical imaging surveys as a functi…
Microlensing modulation by quadrupole variation
Florian Dubath, Maria Alice Gasparini, Ruth Durrer
We investigate microlensing in the case where the lens is considered as an extended object. We use a multipolar expansion of the lens potential and show that the time-varying natur…
A bound on galactic mass loss rates obtaind from globular cluster dynamics
Florian Dubath, Anna Rissone
Using tidal disruption of globular clusters by the galactic center, we put limits on the total mass ever enclosed into orbits of observed globular clusters. Under the assumption th…
