- Author contribution statement
- Moss’s main contributions were the production of the cosmic microwave background (CMB) power spectra for Nambu-Goto cosmic strings, and the likelihood analysis of these models, found in section 6.8. The production of the power spectrum involved tuning parameters of the unconnected segment model, which he helped to develop, to best-fit the most recent Nambu simulations. He then performed the Markov-Chain-Monte-Carlo (MCMC) analysis on this model, producing the constraints on the cosmic-string fraction found in Table. 8 and Fig. 46. He also wrote the weak-lensing likelihood code, which was used to produce Fig. 18.
