Number density: The distribution with equivalent with at fixed redshift is close to a power law in column density.
NUMBER DENSITY - Number of a particular type of object found in each unit volume. For example, if 2500 garnets are fairly uniformly spread through a volume of 100 cm3, the number density of garnets is 25/cm3.
The Number density is the number of a particular object or species per unit volume and might be used when describing the number of electrons per cubic centimetre in a plasma or the number of stars in the core of a globular cluster.
n_s is the number density of species s (s = e,Z for electrons, ion species Z), T_e is the electron temperature in energy units, and symbols not defined here are physical constants.
where is the number density and is the lifetime.

where n is the number density particles, k is the Stefan-Boltzmann constant, and T is the temperature in degrees Kelvin, we get the relation:
T_c ~ (G M_sun / R_sun) (m_p/k) ...
CHARGE CARRIER NUMBER DENSITY (n) - Number density (number per volume) ofcharge carriersin a material. In conductors, electrons are free to move, so n for a conductor equals the number density of conduction electrons in the material.
