On the benefits of the Eastern Pamirs for sub-mm astronomy

Alexander V. Lapinov, Svetlana A. Lapinova, Leonid Yu. Petrov +1

Thanks to the first mm studies on the territory of the former USSR in the early 1960s and succeeding sub-mm measurements in the 1970s - early 1980s at wavelengths up to 0.34 mm, a…

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…

Searching for Chameleon-like Scalar Fields

S. A. Levshakov, P. Molaro, M. G. Kozlov +5

Using the 32-m Medicina, 45-m Nobeyama, and 100-m Effelsberg telescopes we found a statistically significant velocity offset Delta V = 27 +/- 3 m/s (1sigma) between the inversion t…

Searching for chameleon-like scalar fields with the ammonia method. II. Mapping of cold molecular cores in NH3 and HC3N lines

S. A. Levshakov, A. V. Lapinov, C. Henkel +4

(Abridged) In our previous work we found a statistically significant offset Delta V = 27 m/s between the radial velocities of the HC3N(2-1) and NH3(1,1) transitions observed in mol…

Searching for chameleon-like scalar fields with the ammonia method

S. A. Levshakov, P. Molaro, A. V. Lapinov +3

(Abridged) The ammonia method, which has been proposed to explore the electron-to-proton mass ratio, mu = m_e/m_p, is applied to nearby dark clouds in the Milky Way. This ratio, wh…

Sensitivity of microwave and FIR spectra to variation of fundamental constants

M. G. Kozlov, A. V. Lapinov, S. A. Levshakov

We estimate sensitivity coefficients to variation of the fine-structure constant alpha and electron-to-proton mass ratio mu for microwave Lambda-type transitions in CH molecule and…
