Edge Detection, Cosmic Strings and the South Pole Telescope

Andrew Stewart, Robert Brandenberger

We develop a method of constraining the cosmic string tension which uses the Canny edge detection algorithm as a means of searching CMB temperature maps for the signature of t…

Observational Constraints on Theories with a Blue Spectrum of Tensor Modes

Andrew Stewart, Robert Brandenberger

Motivated by the string gas cosmological model, which predicts a blue tilt of the primordial gravitational wave spectrum, we examine the constraints imposed by current and planned…
