Abstract

The luminosity function (LF) of electromagnetically radiating closed loops of superconducting cosmic strings (SCS) is calculated in a cosmological context. The LF has a peak as a function of luminosity and a cutoff at the low-luminosity end, and increases with increasing redshift. Some questions concerning a hypothetical model of quasars in which SCS loops act as the “central engines” are discussed.
