Isotope shift and search for metastable superheavy elements in astrophysical data
V. A. Dzuba, V. V. Flambaum, J. K. Webb
Spectral lines belonging to the short-lifetime heavy radioactive elements up to Es (=99) have been found in the spectra of the Przybylski's star. We suggest that these unstable…
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…
Is there further evidence for spatial variation of fundamental constants?
J. C. Berengut, V. V. Flambaum, J. A. King +2
The detection of a spatial variation of the fine-structure constant, alpha, based on study of quasar absorption systems has recently been reported. The physics that causes this alp…
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…
Laboratory spectroscopy and the search for space-time variation of the fine structure constant using QSO spectra
J. C. Berengut, V. A. Dzuba, V. V. Flambaum +4
Theories unifying gravity with other interactions suggest spatial and temporal variation of fundamental ``constants'' in the Universe. A change in the fine structure constant, alph…
Constraining Variations in the Fine-structure Constant, Quark Masses and the Strong Interaction
M. T. Murphy, V. V. Flambaum, J. K. Webb +3
We present evidence for variations in the fine-structure constant from Keck/HIRES spectra of 143 quasar absorption systems over the redshift range 0.2 < z_abs < 4.2. This includes…
