Four direct measurements of the fine-structure constant 13 billion years ago
Michael R. Wilczynska, John K. Webb, Matthew Bainbridge +14
Observations of the redshift z=7.085 quasar J1120+0641 have been used to search for variations of the fine structure constant, alpha, over the redshift range 5.5 to 7.1. Observatio…
Probing the Gravitational Dependence of the Fine-Structure Constant from Observations of White Dwarf Stars
Matthew B. Bainbridge, Martin A. Barstow, Nicole Reindl +12
Hot white dwarf stars are the ideal probe for a relationship between the fine-structure constant and strong gravitational fields, providing us with an opportunity for a direct obse…
A new analysis of fine-structure constant measurements and modelling errors from quasar absorption lines
Michael R. Wilczynska, John K. Webb, Julian A. King +3
We present an analysis of 23 absorption systems along the lines of sight towards 18 quasars in the redshift range of observed on the Very Large Telescop…
Indications of a spatial variation of the fine structure constant
J. K. Webb, J. A. King, M. T. Murphy +3
We previously reported Keck telescope observations suggesting a smaller value of the fine structure constant, alpha, at high redshift. New Very Large Telescope (VLT) data, probing…
