CMBstraightStrings: https://gitlab.com/oscarhdz/cmbstraightstrings

A Python 3 CMB anisotropy simulator with cosmic strings based on a scale invariant analytic model of long straight strings described in Perivolaropoulos L., 1993, Phys. Lett. B, 298, 305. This Python 3 program is the evolution of the C program CMBEdge but without any of the edge detection based on the Canny algorithm. We have used this simulator in our in cosmic string detection work described in arXiv:1810.1188, arXiv:1708.08878, arXiv:1706.04131.

CosmicStringNN: https://gitlab.com/oscarhdz/cosmicstringnn_v2

The code is a convolutional neural network for detecting cosmic strings in CMB maps. Its use is described in arXiv:1706.04131 and arXiv:1708.08878 .

CosmicStringNNresnet_v6: https://gitlab.com/oscarhdz/cosmicstringnnresnet_v6

This code is a residual network and a convolutional neural network for detecting cosmic strings in CMB maps. It is used in arXiv:1810.11889 and it is a major upgrade of CosmicStringNN.
