Calculation of the dependence of transition frequencies on the fine structure constant and the search for variation of alpha in QSO spectra
Abstract
We calculate the dependence of atomic transition frequencies on the fine structure constant, α= e2/ c, for some ions of Ti, Mn, Na, C, and O. The results of these calculations will be used in the search for variation of alpha in quasar absorption spectra.
