Top panels: snapshots of the modeled optically thick disk with a fixed reference dust scale height, shown at two different inclination angles: θ_i = 70^∘ (a) and θ_i = 85﹩\mathop{.}\limits^{{\unicode{x000b0}}}﹩6 (b). Since the distance to the modeled disk is not specified, we present the sky-plane specific intensity I_ν, which is independent of distance (also applies to Figures 3 and 4). Bottom panels: major (c) and minor (d) axis brightness profiles of moderately to highly inclined, optically thick disks with a representative dust scale height.
