Disk model and infrared images. Left panel: adopted disk model density distribution. The dashed lines show the hydrostatic scale height as a function of distance to the star responsible for the disk flaring. The cyan line defines the boundary of the region where ice mantles are present due to the visual extinction threshold. Middle and right panels: RADMC-3D radiative transfer code Monte Carlo images for MRN (middle) and τ₃ (right) size distributions, ray traced at a wavelength of 4 µm, for the silicates + M15 ice mixture disk model, at an inclination of 72°.
