CBR microanisotropies due to the hydrodynamic effects of cosmic string loops.

Chase, S. T.

"Cosmic string" formed at the GUT symmetry breaking mass scale (M_X = 10¹⁵GeV) is typified by a mass per unit length μG/c² = 2×10^-6 in dimensionless units. Prior to recombination, moving loops of cosmic string interact hydrodynamically with the cosmic fluid via their gravitational potential. At recombination this effect can produce a significant distortion of the CBR temperature for loops with radii greater than about 100 pc.
