Fundamental constants and high resolution spectroscopy
P. Bonifacio, H. Rahmani, J. B. Whitmore +14
Absorption-line systems detected in high resolution quasar spectra can be used to compare the value of dimensionless fundamental constants such as the fine-structure constant, alph…
The UVES Large Program for Testing Fundamental Physics II: Constraints on a Change in μ Towards Quasar HE 0027-1836
H. Rahmani, M. Wendt, R. Srianand +14
We present an accurate analysis of the H2 absorption lines from the zabs ~ 2.4018 damped Lyα system towards HE 0027-1836 observed with the Very Large Telescope Ultraviolet and Visu…
Metals in the IGM approaching the re-ionization epoch: results from X-shooter at the VLT
V. D'Odorico, G. Cupani, S. Cristiani +15
We present the results of observations taken with the X-shooter spectrograph devoted to the study of quasars at z ~ 6. This paper focuses on the properties of metals at high redshi…
The UVES Large Program for Testing Fundamental Physics: I Bounds on a change in alpha towards quasar HE 2217-2818
P. Molaro, M. Centurion, J. B. Whitmore +14
Absorption line systems detected in quasar spectra can be used to compare the value of the fine-structure constant, α, measured today on Earth with its value in distant galaxies. I…
The habitable zone of Earth-like planets with different levels of atmospheric pressure
Giovanni Vladilo, Giuseppe Murante, Laura Silva +3
As a contribution to the study of the habitability of extrasolar planets, we implemented a 1-D Energy Balance Model (EBM), the simplest seasonal model of planetary climate, with ne…
