Future mmVLBI Research with ALMA: A European vision

R. P. J. Tilanus, T. P. Krichbaum, J. A. Zensus +165

Very long baseline interferometry at millimetre/submillimetre wavelengths (mmVLBI) offers the highest achievable spatial resolution at any wavelength in astronomy. The anticipated…

Fundamental constants and high resolution spectroscopy

P. Bonifacio, H. Rahmani, J. B. Whitmore +14

Absorption-line systems detected in high resolution quasar spectra can be used to compare the value of dimensionless fundamental constants such as the fine-structure constant, alph…

The UVES Large Program for Testing Fundamental Physics: I Bounds on a change in alpha towards quasar HE 2217-2818

P. Molaro, M. Centurion, J. B. Whitmore +14

Absorption line systems detected in quasar spectra can be used to compare the value of the fine-structure constant, α, measured today on Earth with its value in distant galaxies. I…

Microwave and submillimeter molecular transitions and their dependence on fundamental constants

M. G. Kozlov, S. A. Levshakov

Microwave and submillimeter molecular transition frequencies between nearly degenerated rotational levels, tunneling transitions, and mixed tunneling-rotational transitions show an…

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…

Ammonia as a Tracer of Fundamental Constants

C. Henkel, K. M. Menten, M. T. Murphy +5

Observing inversion lines of ammonia (NH3), complemented by rotational lines of NH3 and other molecular species, provides stringent constraints on potential variations of the proto…
