The Impact of Silicate Grain Coagulation on Millimeter Emission from Massive Protostellar Disks by Ryota Yamamuro, Kei E. I. Tanaka, Satoshi Okuzumi

“…Our radiative transfer modeling accounts for dust self-scattering and includes vertical temperature gradients in the disk structure. The results show that once silicate grains grow to sizes exceeding the observing wavelength, enhanced scattering dims the disk emission by 20%–30% relative to the blackbody emission expected at the disk surface temperature. …”
