cds-question@unistra.fratomic-physicsquasarsWe have previously presented evidence for a varying fine-structure constant, {alpha}, in two independent samples of Keck/HIRES quasi-stellar object (QSO) absorption spectra. Here we present a detailed many-multiplet analysis of a third Keck/HIRES sample containing 78 absorption systems. We also re-analyse the previous samples, providing a total of 128 absorption systems over the redshift range 0.2<zabs<3.7.2003MNRAS.345..609Mhttps://cdsarc.cds.unistra.fr/viz-bin/cat/J/MNRAS/345/609CatalogResearchIsServedByTAP VizieR generic serviceIsServedByConesearch servicehttps://cds.unistra.fr/vizier-org/licences_vizier.htmlhttps://vizier.cds.unistra.fr/viz-bin/VizieR-2?-source=J/MNRAS/345/609https://vizier.iucaa.in/viz-bin/VizieR-2?-source=J/MNRAS/345/609http://vizieridia.saao.ac.za/viz-bin/VizieR-2?-source=J/MNRAS/345/609https://vizier.cds.unistra.fr/viz-bin/votable?-source=J/MNRAS/345/609https://vizier.iucaa.in/viz-bin/votable?-source=J/MNRAS/345/609http://vizieridia.saao.ac.za/viz-bin/votable?-source=J/MNRAS/345/609GETtext/xml+votablehttps://tapvizier.cds.unistra.fr/TAPVizieR/tapCone search capability for table J/MNRAS/345/609/table3 (The raw results from the {Chi}^2^ minimization procedure)https://vizier.cds.unistra.fr/viz-bin/conesearch/J/MNRAS/345/609/table3?https://vizier.iucaa.in/viz-bin/conesearch/J/MNRAS/345/609/table3?http://vizieridia.saao.ac.za/viz-bin/conesearch/J/MNRAS/345/609/table3?GETtext/xml+votable180.050000true1.3342325.4030.0055555555555555566/2172 2348 3971 4279 4947 5272 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 17895 17917 18042 18366 18858 19190 19206 19416 19483 19680 19807 21012 22594-22595 23016 23121 25540 26276 26323 26479 27578 28039 28086 28281 28532 28539 28666 34503 36086 36417 40446 40479 48474https://cdsarc.cds.unistra.fr/viz-bin/moc/J/MNRAS/345/609?format=asciidefaultJ/MNRAS/345/609/table2Atomic data for the MM transitions in our analysis.IonIon (1)phys.atmol.ionizationcharrecnoRecord number assigned by the VizieR team.
