Comparison of PSF-convolved model calculation for the radial profiles of , Ĩ_disk, and p_disk with measured profiles along the minor axis of HD 142527. The lines show simulation results for different dust-scattering parameter combinations for the geometry plotted in Fig. 11. The shaded bands show a selection of three measured radial profiles close to the semiminor axes of the disk on the far and near side of the disk at position angles of 70°, 80°, and 90° and 270°, 285°, and 290°, respectively, in units of surface brightness relative to the total flux of the system, i.e., (I_total ∕arcsec²), and the diamonds show the average and the spread of all data points for all radial profiles combined. The model profiles are normalized and fitted to the measurements between 0.7′′ and 1′′ on the far side (shaded gray regions), where the plane-parallel surface approximation applies best.
