A DARWIN C-star model grid with new dust opacities
Abstract
We have improved the treatment of dust opacity from the small-particle limit approximation to size-dependent which leads to models with smaller grains, lower dust-to-gas ratios, but about the same mass-loss rates and outflow velocities. The K-magnitudes get brighter, whereas the V-magnitudes can be either brighter or dimmer depending on the wind properties.
