Fundamental physical constants at low and high redshifts

S. A. Levshakov

Spacetime variations of physical constants can be associated with the existence of Higgs-like scalar field(s) that couple non-universally to the baryonic matter. Recent results of…

Constraints on the electron-to-proton mass ratio variation at the epoch of reionization

S. A. Levshakov, M. G. Kozlov, I. I. Agafonova

Far infrared fine-structure transitions of CI and CII and rotational transitions of CO are used to probe hypothetical variations of the electron-to-proton mass ratio mu = m_e/m_p a…

36 GHz methanol lines from nearby galaxies: maser or quasi-thermal emission?

P. Humire, C. Henkel, Y. Gong +12

Methanol (CH3OH) is one of the most abundant interstellar molecules, offering a vast number of transitions to be studied, including many maser lines. While the strongest Galactic C…

ALMA view of the C/C isotopic ratio in starburst galaxies

X. D. Tang, C. Henkel, K. M. Menten +16

We derive molecular-gas-phase C/C isotope ratios for the central few 100 pc of the three nearby starburst galaxies NGC 253, NGC 1068, and NGC 4945 making use of the $…

Testing the weak equivalence principle by differential measurements of fundamental constants in the Magellanic Clouds

S. A. Levshakov, K. -W. Ng, C. Henkel +4

Non-standard fields are assumed to be responsible for phenomena attributed to dark energy and dark matter. Being coupled to ordinary matter, these fields modify the masses and/or c…

Testing the variability of the proton-to-electron mass ratio from observations of methanol in the dark cloud core L1498

M. Daprà, C. Henkel, S. A. Levshakov +6

The dependence of the proton-to-electron mass ratio, mu, on the local matter density was investigated using methanol emission in the dense dark cloud core L1498. Towards two differ…
