Fundamental physics with ESPRESSO: Constraints on Bekenstein and dark energy models from astrophysical and local probes

C. J. A. P. Martins, S. Cristiani, G. Cupani +21

Dynamical scalar fields in an effective four-dimensional field theory are naturally expected to couple to the rest of the theory's degrees of freedom, unless some new symmetry is p…

Fundamental Physics with ESPRESSO, Constraining a simple parametrisation for varying

Vitor da Fonseca, Tiago Barreiro, Nelson J. Nunes +24

The spectrograph ESPRESSO recently obtained a limit on the variation of the fine-structure constant, , through measurements along the line of sight of a bright quasar with a pre…

Fundamental physics with ESPRESSO: Precise limit on variations in the fine-structure constant towards the bright quasar HE 05154414

Michael T. Murphy, Paolo Molaro, Ana C. O. Leite +40

The strong intervening absorption system at redshift 1.15 towards the very bright quasar HE 05154414 is the most studied absorber for measuring possible cosmological variations…

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…

Forecasts of redshift drift constraints on cosmological parameters

C. S. Alves, A. C. O. Leite, C. J. A. P. Martins +2

Cosmological observations usually map our present-day past light cone. However, it is also possible to compare different past light cones. This is the concept behind the redshift d…

Fundamental physics constraints from testing the stability of the fine-structure constant with the ELTs

A. C. O. Leite, C. J. A. P. Martins, P. Molaro +2

The increased collecting area of the ELTs will bring fainter high-z targets within the reach of high-resolution ultra-stable spectrographs, thus enabling a new generation of precis…
