Abstract
We study diffusion damping of acoustic waves in the photon-baryon fluiddue to cosmic strings, and calculate the induced μ- and y-typespectral distortions of the cosmic microwave background. For cosmicstrings with tension within current bounds, their contribution to thespectral distortions is subdominant compared to the distortions fromprimordial density perturbations.
