Wide binaries without viable bound Newtonian orbits
L. Pasquini, R. Saglia, F. Patat +7
Context. Wide binaries offer a unique opportunity to test gravity in the low acceleration regime, where deviations from Newtonian dynamics may appear. Aims. We use high-resolution…
On the absence of molecular absorption in high redshift millimetre-band searches
S. J. Curran, M. T. Whiting, F. Combes +6
We have undertaken a search for millimetre-wave band absorption (through the CO and HCO+ rotational transitions) in the host galaxies of reddened radio sources (z = 0.405-1.802). D…
Redshifted HI and OH absorption in radio galaxies and quasars
S. J. Curran, M. T. Whiting, M. T. Murphy +6
From a survey for redshifted HI 21-cm and OH 18-cm absorption in the hosts of a sample of radio galaxies and quasars, we detect HI in three of the ten and OH in none of the fourtee…
A survey for redshifted molecular and atomic absorption lines - II. Associated HI, OH and millimetre lines in the z >~ 3 Parkes quarter-Jansky flat-spectrum sample
S. J. Curran, M. T. Whiting, T. Wiklind +3
We present the results of a z>2.9 survey for HI 21-cm and molecular absorption in the hosts of radio quasars using the GMRT and the Tidbinbilla 70-m telescope. Previously published…
Comment on "Limits on the Time Variation of the Electromagnetic Fine-Structure Constant in the Low Energy Limit from Absorption Lines in the Spectra of Distant Quasars"
Michael T. Murphy, John K. Webb, Victor V. Flambaum
In their Letter [Phys. Rev. Lett. 92, 121302 (2004)] (also [Astron. Astrophys. 417, 853 (2004)]), Srianand et al. analysed optical spectra of heavy-element species in 23 absorption…
Revisiting VLT/UVES constraints on a varying fine-structure constant
M. T. Murphy, J. K. Webb, V. V. Flambaum
Current analyses of VLT/UVES quasar spectra disagree with the Keck/HIRES evidence for a varying fine-structure constant, alpha. To investigate this we introduce a simple method for…
