Gravitational power from cosmic string loops with many kinks
Alejandro Bohe
We investigate the effect of a large number of kinks on the gravitational power radiated by cosmic string loops. We show that the total power radiated by a loop with N left-moving…
Gravitational wave signatures from kink proliferation on cosmic (super-) strings
P. Binetruy, A. Bohe, T. Hertog +1
Junctions on cosmic string loops give rise to the proliferation of sharp kinks. We study the effect of this proliferation on the gravitational wave (GW) signals emitted from string…
Proliferation of sharp kinks on cosmic (super-)string loops with junctions
P. Binetruy, A. Bohe, T. Hertog +1
Motivated by their effect on the gravitational wave signal emitted by cosmic strings, we study the dynamics of kinks on strings of different tensions meeting at junctions. The prop…
Gravitational Wave Bursts from Cosmic Superstrings with Y-junctions
P. Binetruy, A. Bohe, T. Hertog +1
Cosmic superstring loops generically contain strings of different tensions that meet at Y-junctions. These loops evolve non-periodically in time, and have cusps and kinks that inte…
