cds-question@unistra.fratomic-physicsquasarsThe Keck telescope's High Resolution Spectrograph (HIRES) has previously provided evidence for a smaller fine-structure constant, {alpha}, compared to the current laboratory value, in a sample of 143 quasar absorption systems: {Delta}{alpha}/{alpha}=(-0.57+/-0.11)10^-5^. The analysis was based on a variety of metal-ion transitions which, if alpha varies, experience different relative velocity shifts. This result is yet to be robustly contradicted, or confirmed, by measurements on other telescopes and spectrographs; it remains crucial to do so.2009MmSAI..80..833Mhttps://cdsarc.cds.unistra.fr/viz-bin/cat/J/other/MmSAI/80.833CatalogResearchIsServedByTAP VizieR generic serviceIsServedByConesearch servicerelated-toJ/MNRAS/345/609 : Variability of the fine-structure constant (Murphy+, 2003)https://cds.unistra.fr/vizier-org/licences_vizier.htmlhttps://vizier.cds.unistra.fr/viz-bin/VizieR-2?-source=J/other/MmSAI/80.833https://vizier.iucaa.in/viz-bin/VizieR-2?-source=J/other/MmSAI/80.833http://vizieridia.saao.ac.za/viz-bin/VizieR-2?-source=J/other/MmSAI/80.833https://vizier.cds.unistra.fr/viz-bin/votable?-source=J/other/MmSAI/80.833https://vizier.iucaa.in/viz-bin/votable?-source=J/other/MmSAI/80.833http://vizieridia.saao.ac.za/viz-bin/votable?-source=J/other/MmSAI/80.833GETtext/xml+votablehttps://tapvizier.cds.unistra.fr/TAPVizieR/tapCone search capability for table J/other/MmSAI/80.833/table1 (Values of {Delta}({alpha})/{alpha} and corrections for possible intra-order distortions of the wavelength scale)https://vizier.cds.unistra.fr/viz-bin/conesearch/J/other/MmSAI/80.833/table1?https://vizier.iucaa.in/viz-bin/conesearch/J/other/MmSAI/80.833/table1?http://vizieridia.saao.ac.za/viz-bin/conesearch/J/other/MmSAI/80.833/table1?GETtext/xml+votable180.050000true1.33423175.40300030.0055555555555555566/2172 2348 3971 4273 4279 4947 5272 5306 5563 5723 5952 6591 6652 7857 8552 9112 9114 10298 10501 10753 10807 10940 11040 11498 11581 11723 11765 14946 16269 16589 16656 16831 17190 17404 17639 17735 17751 17895 17917 18042 18366 18769 18858 19190 19206 19416 19483 19680 19682 19807 21012 22594 22595 23016 23121 25540 26276 26323 26479 26882 27232 27578 28039 28042 28086 28281 28532 28539 28666 34503 36086 36417 40446 40479 48474https://cdsarc.cds.unistra.fr/viz-bin/moc/J/other/MmSAI/80.833?format=asciidefaultJ/other/MmSAI/80.833/table1Values of {Delta}({alpha})/{alpha} and corrections for possible intra-order distortions of the wavelength scalerecnoRecord number assigned by the VizieR team.
