Probing the Gravitational Dependence of the Fine-Structure Constant from Observations of White Dwarf Stars
Matthew B. Bainbridge, Martin A. Barstow, Nicole Reindl +12
Hot white dwarf stars are the ideal probe for a relationship between the fine-structure constant and strong gravitational fields, providing us with an opportunity for a direct obse…

Limits on the dependence of the fine-structure constant on gravitational potential from white-dwarf spectra
J. C. Berengut, V. V. Flambaum, A. Ong +5
We propose a new probe of the dependence of the fine structure constant, alpha, on a strong gravitational field using metal lines in the spectra of white dwarf stars. Comparison of…
