... We present a comparison of the surface density of young stars (неБ‹†) and dust surface density (неdust) across NGC 346 (N66) in 115 independent pixels of 6 ц— 6 pc2. ...

... Impedance . Electrical impedance, or simply impedance, describes a measure of opposition to a sinusoidal alternating current (AC). Electrical impedance extends the concept of resistance to AC circuits, describing not only the relative amplitudes of the voltage and current, but also the relative phases. ... Resistance is the real part of impedance; a device with a purely resistive impedance exhibits no phase shift between the voltage and current. ...

The probability density function (PDF) is a simple analytical tool for determining the hierarchical spatial structure of molecular clouds. ... We have recently conducted a PDF analysis of the molecular gas in the G333 and Vela C giant molecular cloud complexes, using transitions of CO, HCN, HNC, HCO+ and N2H+. The results show that CO and its isotopologues trace mostly the log-normal part of the PDF, while HCN and HCO+ trace both a log-normal part and a power law part to the distribution. ...
