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…

Many-probes multi-object spatially-resolved analyses of galaxy clusters in the big data era

Fabio Castagna, Stefano Andreon, Alberto Trombetta +1

The thermal Sunyaev-Zeldovich (SZ) effect and the X-ray emission offer separate and highly complementary probes of the thermodynamics of the intracluster medium, particularly on th…
