Probing proton-to-electron mass ratio variability with QSO 0347–383 spectra
We introduce a new approach for detecting potential cosmological changes in the proton-to-electron mass ratio (µ) by studying the absorption lines of molecular hydrogen (H2) in the high-redshift quasar QSO 0347–383. By comparing these observations with high-precision laboratory data, we determine a variation of ∆µ/µ = (0.120 ± 0.144) × 10−8 at zabs = 3.025. This highly precise result offers valuable insights into the constancy of fundamental physical constants over extended cosmic periods.
期刊介绍:
The journal welcomes manuscripts on theoretical models, simulations, and observations of highly energetic astrophysical objects both in our Galaxy and beyond. Among those, black holes at all scales, neutron stars, pulsars and their nebula, binaries, novae and supernovae, their remnants, active galaxies, and clusters are just a few examples. The journal will consider research across the whole electromagnetic spectrum, as well as research using various messengers, such as gravitational waves or neutrinos. Effects of high-energy phenomena on cosmology and star-formation, results from dedicated surveys expanding the knowledge of extreme environments, and astrophysical implications of dark matter are also welcomed topics.
