Photon-graviton conversion in a primordial magnetic field and the cosmic microwave background

Astrophysics 2009-10-28 v1

Abstract

We reconsider the effects of photon-graviton conversion in a primordial magnetic field upon the cosmic microwave background radiation. We argue that plasma effects make the photon-graviton conversion process negligible.
