Left: comparison of the best-fit RADMC model (dashed black line 40 m baseline, solid black line 90 m baseline) for the visibilities of NGC 2264 IRS 1 with the MIDI visibilities (rectangulars 90 m baseline, crosses 40 m baseline). Right: comparison of the best-fit RADMC model for the spectrum of NGC 2264 IRS 1 with the ISO spectrum (gray line), the MIDI spectrum (black crosses), and the data points from Table 1 (black rectangulars). The dashed black line is the RADMC model without foreground extinction, the dotted black line the model with a foreground extinction of 27 mag, and the solid black line the RADMC model with extinction and two additional blackbody components with temperatures of 55 K (gray dash-dotted line) and 120 K (gray dotted line).
