In physics, it is sometimes desirable to compute the so-called \emph{Density Of States} (DOS), also known as the \emph{spectral density}, of a real symmetric matrix $A$. The spectral density can be viewed as a probability density…
Sub-millimetre dust emission is an important tracer of density N of dense interstellar clouds. One has to combine surface brightness information at different spatial resolutions, and specific methods are needed to derive N at a resolution…

Sub-millimetre observations suggest that the filaments of interstellar clouds have rather uniform widths and can be described with the so-called Plummer profiles. The shapes of the filament profiles are linked to their physical state.…
