Angular 21 cm power spectrum of a scaling distribution of cosmic string wakes

Journal Article Hernández, Oscar F. ; Wang, Yi ; Brandenberger, Robert ; ... - Journal of Cosmology and Astroparticle Physics

Cosmic string wakes lead to a large signal in 21 cm redshift maps at redshifts larger than that corresponding to reionization. Here, we compute the angular power spectrum of 21 cm radiation as predicted by a scaling distribution of cosmic strings whose wakes have undergone shock heating.

The 21 cm signature of a cosmic string loop

Journal Article Pagano, Michael ; Brandenberger, Robert - Journal of Cosmology and Astroparticle Physics

Cosmic string loops lead to nonlinear baryon overdensities at early times, even before the time which in the standard LCDM model corresponds to the time of reionization. These overdense structures lead to signals in 21 cm redshift surveys at large redshifts. In this paper, we calculate the amplitude and shape of the string loop-induced 21 cm brightness temperature. We find that a string loop leads to a roughly elliptical region in redshift space with extra 21 cm emission. The excess brightness temperature for strings with a tension close to the current upper bound can be as high as 1deg Kmore »« less

The 21 cm signature of cosmic string wakes

Journal Article Brandenberger, Robert H. ; Danos, Rebecca J. ; Hernández, Oscar F. ; ... - Journal of Cosmology and Astroparticle Physics

We discuss the signature of a cosmic string wake in 21cm redshift surveys. Since 21cm surveys probe higher redshifts than optical large-scale structure surveys, the signatures of cosmic strings are more manifest in 21cm maps than they are in optical galaxy surveys. We find that, provided the tension of the cosmic string exceeds a critical value (which depends on both the redshift when the string wake is created and the redshift of observation), a cosmic string wake will generate an emission signal with a brightness temperature which approaches a limiting value which at a redshift of z+1 = 30 ismore »« less

The 21 cm signature of shock heated and diffuse cosmic string wakes

Journal Article Hernández, Oscar F. ; Brandenberger, Robert H., E-mail: oscarh@physics.mcgill.ca, E-mail: rhb@physics.mcgill.ca - Journal of Cosmology and Astroparticle Physics

The analysis of the 21 cm signature of cosmic string wakes is extended in several ways. First we consider the constraints on Gμ from the absorption signal of shock heated wakes laid down much later than matter radiation equality. Secondly we analyze the signal of diffuse wake, that is those wakes in which there is a baryon overdensity but which have not shock heated. Finally we compare the size of these signals to the expected thermal noise per pixel which dominates over the background cosmic gas brightness temperature and find that the cosmic string signal will exceed the thermal noisemore »« less

High redshift signatures in the 21 cm forest due to cosmic string wakes

Journal Article Tashiro, Hiroyuki ; Sekiguchi, Toyokazu ; Silk, Joseph - Journal of Cosmology and Astroparticle Physics

Cosmic strings induce minihalo formation in the early universe. The resultant minihalos cluster in string wakes and create a ''21 cm forest'' against the cosmic microwave background (CMB) spectrum. Such a 21 cm forest can contribute to angular fluctuations of redshifted 21 cm signals integrated along the line of sight. We calculate the root-mean-square amplitude of the 21 cm fluctuations due to strings and show that these fluctuations can dominate signals from minihalos due to primordial density fluctuations at high redshift (z∼>10), even if the string tension is below the current upper bound, Gμ < 1.5 × 10{sup −7}.
