Radial intensity cut of the 11.4 μm emission around V Hya, averaged over azimuthal angle. The MATISSE radial profiles (blue line, and its relative error represented by the shaded light blue area) are calibrated taking a photospheric radius of 12.3±5.0 mas. The VISIR radial profiles are displayed with square red symbols. The DUSTY model profile, downgraded to the MATISSE resolution, is displayed by the dashed black line.
