Wavelet-Bayesian inference of cosmic strings embedded in the cosmic microwave background
Wavelet-Bayesian inference of cosmic strings embedded in the cosmic microwave background
Cosmic strings are a well-motivated extension to the standard cosmological model and could induce a subdominant component in the anisotropies of the cosmic microwave background (CMB), in addition to the standard inflationary component. The detection of strings, while observationally challenging, would provide a direct probe of physics at very high …
