Dust-to-gas mass ratio (R D/G) needed for a range of central stellar luminosities to produce ﹩{L}_{[{\rm{O}}\,{\rm\small{III}}]}^{\mathrm{peak}}﹩ that matches the observed PNLF cutoff magnitude, for models with m ej = 0.1, 0.3, and 1.0M For reference, 1–3M progenitors can produce PNe hosting post-AGB stars of ∼8 × 103 L , and ≳5 × 104 L for 6–10M progenitors.
