Survey for Distant Solar Twins (SDST) -- III. Identification of new solar twin and solar analogue stars

Christian Lehmann, Michael T. Murphy, Fan Liu +3

The Survey for Distant Solar Twins (SDST) aims to find stars very similar to the Sun at distances 1-4 kpc, several times more distant than any currently known solar twins and analo…

A limit on variations in the fine-structure constant from spectra of nearby Sun-like stars

Michael T. Murphy, Daniel A. Berke, Fan Liu +4

The fine structure constant, , sets the strength of the electromagnetic force. The Standard Model of particle physics provides no explanation for its value, which could potentia…

Survey for Distant Solar Twins (SDST) -- II. Design, observations and data

Fan Liu, Michael T. Murphy, Christian Lehmann +5

Studies of solar twins have key impacts on the astronomical community, but only 100--200 nearby solar twins ( 1 kpc) have been reliably identified over the last few decade…

Probing Galactic variations in the fine-structure constant using solar twin stars: methodology and results

Daniel A. Berke, Michael T. Murphy, Chris Flynn +1

The rich absorption spectra of Sun-like stars are enticing probes for variations in the fine-structure constant, , which gauges the strength of electromagnetism. While individua…

Relativistic frequency shifts in Cr, Ti, Fe, Ni, Ca, Na, and V to search for variation in the fine structure constant

V. A. Dzuba, V. V. Flambaum, M. T. Murphy +1

Sensitivity of the frequencies of twenty two atomic transitions to the variation of the fine structure constant is calculated. The findings are to be used in search for possibl…
