Cosmology Intertwined: A Review of the Particle Physics, Astrophysics, and Cosmology Associated with the Cosmological Tensions and Anomalies

Elcio Abdalla, Guillermo Franco Abellán, Amin Aboubrahim +200

In this paper we will list a few important goals that need to be addressed in the next decade, also taking into account the current discordances between the different cosmological…

Non-uniqueness in quasar absorption models and implications for measurements of the fine structure constant

Chung-Chi Lee, John K. Webb, Dinko Milaković +1

High resolution spectra of quasar absorption systems provide the best constraints on temporal or spatial changes of fundamental constants in the early universe. An important system…

Getting the model right; an information criterion for spectroscopy

John K. Webb, Chung-Chi Lee, Robert F. Carswell +1

Robust model-fitting to spectroscopic transitions is a requirement across many fields of science. The corrected Akaike and Bayesian information criteria (AICc and BIC) are most fre…

A new era of fine structure constant measurements at high redshift

Dinko Milaković, Chung-Chi Lee, Robert F. Carswell +3

New observations of the quasar HE05154414 have been made using the HARPS spectrograph on the ESO 3.6m telescope, aided by the Laser Frequency Comb (LFC). We present three import…

Artificial intelligence and quasar absorption system modelling; application to fundamental constants at high redshift

Chung-Chi Lee, John K. Webb, R. F. Carswell +1

Exploring the possibility that fundamental constants of Nature might vary temporally or spatially constitutes one of the key science drivers for the European Southern Observatory's…

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…
