Geometric optical depth as a function of the stellocentric distance. A reference slope of r−1.5 is shown with a dotted line. The solid lines of various colors and thicknesses show the evolution of the optical depth for successive iterations (see Section 2.2.2 for details). The location of the birth ring is marked by the gray-shaded area (ad ± σd).
