Parameter combinations of inner disk radius Rin and the radii of the smaller and larger grains aS, aL for the system HD 172167 (see the Fig. B.1 for all other investigated targets). The blue sections enclose all parameter combinations able to reproduce the flux densities inferred from observations in the NIR and MIR wavelength ranges. The red sections indicate parameter combinations that cannot reproduce the observations. The upper boundary of possible values of Rin is given by the distance, where the radiation originating from the grain population of smaller grains no longer shows a NIR-to-MIR flux density ratio (Eq. (4)) higher than the observed value (Eq. (3)). The lower boundary is given by the physical scale corresponding to the IWA of the KIN, which is depicted by the solid black line. The dashed black line depicts the sublimation radii for different grain sizes. The intersecting set of parameter values for which, on the one hand, the dust configurations can reproduce the observations and, on the other hand, the dust grains of the respective grain sizes do not sublimate is indicated by the dashed area. Right: parameter space of Rin and aL for all possible values of aS. Left: parameter space of Rin and aS with the value of aL fixed to aL ∈ {10 µm, 100 µm, 1000 µm}; valid parameter combinations of Rin and aS are the same for these three values.
