SEDs of flared dust disks: radiation transfer model versus two-layer model
Abstract
A radiation transfer model for the top-layer of a flared dust disk around a low mass star is presented. The disk structure, temperature distribution and spectral energy distribution are compared with the results of the analytical two-layer model of Chiang & Goldreich. We find that both, a proper iterative calculation of the main parameters and proper radiation transfer calculations, are important to not overestimate the disk structure and its emission especially at long wavelengths.
