Radio broadcasts from superconducting strings

Abstract: Superconducting cosmic strings can give transient electromagnetic signatures that we argue are most evident at radio frequencies. We investigate the three different kinds of radio bursts from cusps, kinks, and kink-kink collisions on superconducting strings. We find that the event rate is dominated by kink bursts in a range of parameters that are of observational interest, and can be quite high (several a day at 1 Jy flux) for a canonical set of parameters. In the absence of events, the search for radio transi… Show more

“…The ghost has no contribution to the vacuum energy density, which is proportional to Λ 3 QCD H, where Λ QCD is QCD mass scale and H is Hubble parameter. This small vacuum energy density expect to play an important role in the evolution of universe [42]. Considering GDE model above issues can be explained smoothly but GDE model faces the problem of stability [43,44], which clearly indicating that the energy density does not depends on H explicitly rather it depends on the higher order terms of H too, which is referred as Generalized Ghost Dark Energy (GGDE) model.…”

“…[50], the author discussed the contribution of the Veneziano QCD ghost field to the vacuum energy is not exactly of order H and a subleading term H 2 appears due to the fact that the vacuum expectations value of the energy momentum tensor is conserved in isolation [51]. Then the vacuum energy of the ghost field can be written as H + O(H 2 ), where the sub-leading term H 2 play a crucial role in the early stage of universe evolution action as the early DE [42]. The density of this generalized ghost dark energy (GGDE) reads [42] as,…”

“…Similarly Popov & Postnov (2007) propose hyperflares from extragalactic magnetars. Proposed extragalactic sources of non-repeating, fast radio transients include evaporating primordial black holes (Rees 1977), merging binary white dwarf systems (Kashiyama et al 2013), merging neutron stars (Hansen & Lyutikov 2001), collapsing supramassive neutron stars (Falcke & Rezzolla 2014), and superconducting cosmic strings (Cai et al 2012). Alternatively, Loeb et al (2014) suggest a repeating, Galactic source-flares from nearby, magnetically active stars, in which the DM excess is due to the star's corona.…”

“…Radiation from strings is not isotropic but is most efficient at cusps-parts of a string that move very close to the speed of light-and kinksdiscontinuities in the tangent vector to the string. The strongly beamed radiation has been studied as sources of various observable effects such as gamma ray bursts [8,9], ultrahigh-energy neutrinos [7], radio transients [10][11][12], and distortions of the cosmic microwave background (CMB) [13][14][15][16]. In addition to these signatures that are particular to superconducting strings, there are more generic effects that are gravitational and do not rely on superconductivity.…”
