Notes. The first three columns refer to models with exponentially-tapered density profiles, while model 4 is a simple power law. Models 1, 3 and 4 are for a “low UV” input spectrum while model 2 is for a “high UV” flux. Finally, models 1, 2, and 4 allow dust grains to settle towards the midplane while model 3 is fully mixed. Model 3 represents our overall “preferred” model, which is later discussed in detail, and is marked by an asterisk.
