We study the distribution of dark matter in the nonlinear regime in a model in which the primordial fluctuations include, in addition to the dominant primordial Gaussian fluctuations generated by the standard $\Lambda CDM$ cosmological model, the effects of a cosmic string wake set up at the time of equal matter and radiation, making use of cosmological $N$-body simulations. At early times the string wake leads to a planar overdensity of dark matter. We study how this non-Gaussian pattern of a…

In this paper, we describe the results of N-body simulation runs, which include a cosmic string wake of tension Gμ= 4 × 10−8 on top of the usual Λ CDM fluctuations. To obtain a higher resolution of
Extracting the signal of cosmic string wakes from 21-cm observations

A cosmic string wake produces a distinct non-Gaussian signal in 21-cm intensity maps at redshifts above that of reionization. While the string signal is (locally) larger in amplitude than the signal

We consider cosmic string cusp annihilations as a possible source of enhancement to the global background radiation temperature in 21-cm photons at reionization. A soft photon spectrum is induced via
