VLT / UVES constraints on a varying fine - structure constant
Current analyses of VLT/UVES quasar spectra disagree with the Keck/HIRES evidence for a varying fine-structure constant, α. To investigate this we introduce a simple method for calculating the minimum possible uncertainty on ∆α/α for a given quasar absorber. For many absorbers in Chand et al. (2004) and for the single-absorber constraint of Levshakov et al. (2006) the quoted uncertainties are s...
متن کاملConstraints on time variation of fine structure constant from WMAP-3yr data
This paper presents the constraints on the time variation of the fine structure constant at recombination relative to its present value, ∆α = (αrec − α0)/α0, obtained from the analysis of the WMAP-3yr Cosmic Microwave Background (CMB) data, with an additional prior on the Hubble expansion rate from HST Hubble Key Project. I found out that −0.039 < ∆α < 0.010 at 95% C.L., which brings a 30% impr...
متن کاملTime Evolution of the Fine Structure Constant
We present a short review of the current quasar (QSO) absorption line constraints on possible variation of the fine structure constant, α ≡ e 2 /¯ hc. Particular attention is paid to recent optical Keck/HIRES spectra of 49 absorption systems which indicate a smaller α in the past [1, 2]. Here we present new preliminary results from 128 absorption systems: ∆α/α = (−0.57 ± 0.10) × 10 −5 over the ...
متن کاملGeometrical Constraints on Dark Energy
We explore the recently introduced statefinder parameters. After reviewing their basic properties, we calculate the statefinder parameters for a variety of cosmological models, and investigate their usefulness as a means of theoretical classification of dark energy models. We then go on to consider their use in obtaining constraints on dark energy from present and future supernovae type Ia data...
متن کاملNew Constraints on Dark Energy
New Cosmic Microwave Background, Galaxy Clustering and Supernovae type Ia data are increasingly constraining the dark energy component of our Universe. While the cosmological constant scenario remains consistent with these new tight constraints, the data does not rule out the possibility that the equation of state parameter is less than −1
