We clarify the meaning of spatial densities of hadrons. A physical density is given by the expectation value of a local operator for a physical state, and depends on both internal structure and the hadron's wave packet. In some particular cases, the physical density can be written as a convolution between a density function that depends on internal structure but not wave packet, and a smearing function that depends on wave packet but not internal structure. We show that the light front densities often encountered in the literature have this property but that instant form densities do not. For hadrons prepared in broad wave packets, physical instant form densities approximately obey such a convolution relation, with Breit frame densities as the apparent internal densities. However, there is an infinite series of relativistic corrections to this convolution formula.

First complete non-relativistic impulse-approximation calculation of all eleven deuteron EMT form factors, including non-conserved c-bar and s-bar form factors that map to force and torsion distributions inside the nucleons.

Quantum stresses in the hydrogen atom
For the hydrogen ground state, the \bar{c} gravitational form factor, not the D-term, carries the local force law, supporting a literal stress interpretation under pilot wave ontology.

The pion's gravitational form factors are computed in a self-consistent light-front quark model, with a tuned D-term value near -1 and stable pressure and shear distributions.

Transverse densities of the energy-momentum tensor and the gravitational form factors the pion
The scalar gravitational transverse density of the pion, related to the trace anomaly, must change sign with transverse distance, while the tensor density is positive definite.

Nucleon relativistic weak-neutral axial-vector four-current distributions
The 3D axial charge density of a spin-1/2 hadron is parity-odd and controlled by the induced pseudotensor form factor G_T^Z, while the second-class current drops out of the mean-square axial and spin radii.
