Evolution of the total dust mass and dust destruction rates for EIT08M. The initial gas mass of the galaxy M_ini = 5 × 10¹¹ M_⊙. Calculations are performed for a “maximum” (top row), a “high” (middle row), and a “low” (bottom row) SN dust production efficiency ϵ_i(m). Dust destruction is taken into account for M_cl = 800   M_⊙ (left column), 100 M_⊙ (middle column), and 0 M_⊙ (right column). The bottom group of curves in the light blue area represents the total dust destruction rate E_D(t), which is based on Eq. (16). The upper group of curves in the green or yellow zones displays the evolution of the total amount of dust M_d(t) in the galaxy. The yellow area marks dust masses exceeding 10⁸ M_⊙ of dust. The grey horizontal dashed line marks the limit of 10⁸ M_⊙ of dust. The grey vertical dashed lines indicate epochs at 100, 170, 400, and 500 Myr after the onset of starburst. The black solid, green dotted, cyan dashed, magenta dashed-dotted, and blue dashed-dot-dotted lines represent the Salpeter, mass-heavy, top-heavy, Larson 1 and Larson 2 IMF, respectively.
