Aspects of gluon propagation in Landau gauge: spectral densities, and mass scales at finite temperature

We discuss a method to extract the K\"all\'en-Lehmann spectral density of a particle (be it elementary or bound state) propagator and apply it to compute gluon spectral densities from lattice data. Furthermore, we also consider the interpretation of the Landau-gauge gluon propagator at finite temperature as a massive-type bosonic propagator.
