Notes. 

(a)

Photosphere model from Aringer et al. (2009, A09).

(b)

Where applicable, parameter increments are supplied in parentheses.

(c)

No A09 model photospheres were available for log g =  −0.1

(d)

Amorphous carbon grains, ρ = 1.8 g cm-3, optical constants from Zubko et al. (1996).

(e)

SiC grains, ρ = 3.22 g cm-3, optical constants from Pégourié (1988).

(f)

Size distribution from Kim et al. (1994): n(a) ~ a − γexp( − a/a0) with a > amin.

(g)

Assuming a gas:dust ratio of 200.

(h)

As explained in the text, the grid consists of models with temperatures cooler than 1800 K.
