• A new stringent limit relating to the variation of the fine-structure constant (α= e2/4πε0ℏc) has been extracted from Ritz wavelengths of 27 quasi_stellar object (QSO) absorption spectra lines of Fe II. The calculation was combined with laboratory wavelengths and QSO spectra to obtain the result ∆α/α=(0.027±0.832)×10-6. This result suggests how dedicated astrophysical estimations can improve these limits in the future and can also constrain space_time variations.
