Relativistic frequency shifts in Cr, Ti, Fe, Ni, Ca, Na, and V to search for variations in the fine-structure constant

Relativistic frequency shifts in Cr, Ti, Fe, Ni, Ca, Na, and V to search for variations in the fine-structure constant

Sensitivity of the frequencies of twenty two atomic transitions to the variation of the fine structure constant $\alpha$ is calculated. The findings are to be used in search for possible variation of $\alpha$ across our Galaxy using high quality spectroscopic data for stars similar to our Sun.
