Department of Applied Mathematics and Theoretical Physics, Centre for Mathematical Sciences, University of Cambridge Wilberforce Road, Cambridge CB3 0WA, U.K. (Dated: August 1, 2003) In this paper, we present results for large-angle CMB anisotropies generated from high resolution simulations of cosmic string networks in a range of flat FRW universes with a cosmological constant. Using an ensemble of all-sky maps, we compare with the COBE data to infer a normalization (or upper bound) on the string linear energy density μ. For a flat matter-dominated model (?M = 1) we find Gμ/c2 ≈ 0.7 × 10?6, which is lower than previous constraints probably because of the more accurate inclusion of string small-scale structure. For a cosmological constant within an observationally acceptable range, we find a relatively weak dependence with Gμ/c2 less than 10% higher. PACS numbers: 98.80.-k, 98.80.Cq I. INTRODUCTION Given the growing evidence for a cosmological constant or dark energy component in the Universe, it is impor- tant to determine whether this significantly impacts the evolution of cosmic strings and their observational signa- tures. The strongest constraints limiting the energy scale of cosmic strings is currently the COBE normalisation of large-angle CMB anisotropy. In this paper, we will infer this normalisation from maps computed using the meth- ods presented in [1] and determine how this is influenced by late-time domination by a cosmological constant. II. METHOD A. Geometry of Simulations To compute all-sky maps, the “observers” are located inside the simulation box. Following [2], we place eight such observers at each corner of a cube of side L/2 where L is the size of the box i
