Tensor Anisotropies in an Open Universe

Astrophysics 2009-10-30 v2

Abstract

We calculate the anisotropies in the cosmic microwave background induced by long-wavelength primordial gravitational waves in a universe with negative spatial curvature, such as are produced in the ``open inflation'' scenario. The impact of these results on the COBE normalization of open models is discussed.
