Kavli Affiliate: Craig J. Hogan | First 5 Authors: Craig J. Hogan, , , , | Summary: The mean spectrum and burst statistics of gravitational waves produced by a cosmological population of cosmic string loops are estimated using analytic approximations, calibrated with earlier simulations. Formulas are derived showing the dependence of observables on the string […]
