Tóm tắt

Để khảo sát sự biến đổi theo thời gian có thể có của hằng số cấu trúc tinh tế ($$\alpha$$), chúng tôi đề xuất một phương pháp mới dựa trên quan sát kính thiên văn hấp dẫn mạnh và siêu tân tinh loại Ia. Bằng cách xem xét một loại mô hình dilaton trốn chạy, trong đó $$\frac{\Delta \alpha}{\alpha} = -\gamma \ln {(1+z)}$$, chúng tôi thu được các ràng buộc về $$\frac{\Delta \alpha}{\alpha}$$ ở mức $$\gamma \sim 10^{-2}$$ (trong đó $$\gamma$$ thể hiện các tính chất vật lý của mô hình). Vì tập dữ liệu bao gồm khoảng dịch chuyển đỏ $$0.075 \le z \le 2.2649$$, các ràng buộc thu được ở đây cung cấp các giới hạn độc lập về biến đổi theo thời gian có thể của $$\alpha$$ tại các dịch chuyển đỏ thấp, trung bình và cao.
