Lines of sight through randomly oriented flattened spheroids; quasar absorption cloud sizes

John K. Webb

Randomly oriented flattened spheroids have been used to describe a broad range of astrophysical phenomena. Here we use this geometric approach to derive equations representing line…

Varying alpha, blinding, and bias in existing measurements

Chung-Chi Lee, John K. Webb, Robert F. Carswell +3

The high resolution spectrograph ESPRESSO on the VLT allows measurements of fundamental constants at unprecedented precision and hence enables tests for spacetime variations predic…

Measuring the fine structure constant on white dwarf surfaces; uncertainties from continuum placement variations

Chung-Chi Lee, John K. Webb, Darren Dougan +2

Searches for variations of fundamental constants require accurate measurement errors. There are several potential sources of errors and quantifying each one accurately is essential…
