COBE vs Cosmic Strings: An Analytical Model
We construct a simple analytical model to study the effects of cosmic strings on the microwave background radiation. Our model is based on counting random multiple impulses inflicted on photon trajectories by the string network between the time of recombination and today. We construct the temperature auto-correlation function and use it to obtain the effective power spectrum index n, the rms-qu...
متن کاملCosmic strings confront COBE
We investigate large-angle anisotropies in the cosmic microwave radiation background which are induced by cosmic strings. We numerically evolve a string network from a redshift Z=100 to the present day and we use this data to generate a full-sky temperature map using sophisticated Green's function methods. Based on a limited number of realizations, we have compared the results of our simulation...
متن کاملThe Implications of the Cobe-dmr Results for Cosmic Strings
We compare the anisotropies in the cosmic microwave background radiation measured by the COBE experiment to the predictions of cosmic strings. We use an analytic model for the ∆T/T power spectrum that is based on our previous numerical simulations to show that the COBE results imply a value for the string mass per unit length, μ under the assumption that cosmic strings are the source of the mea...
متن کاملInteractions between U(1) cosmic strings: An analytical study.
We derive analytic expressions for the interaction energy between two general U (1) cosmic strings as the function of their relative orientation and the ratio of the coupling constants in the model. The results are relevant to the statistic description of strings away from critical coupling and shed some light on the mechanisms involved in string formation and the evolution of string networks.
متن کاملCosmic Strings & Cosmic Variance
By using a simple analytical model based on counting random multiple impulses inflicted on photons by a network of cosmic strings we show how to construct the general q-point temperature correlation function of the Cosmic Microwave Background radiation. Our analysis is sensible specially for large angular scales where the Kaiser-Stebbins effect is dominant. Then we concentrate our study on the ...
