Caption: Figure 4.

Dust column density (expressed as equivalent hydrogen column density, assuming solar abundances) determined from fitting dust scattering models to the radial intensity profiles as a function of distance, for a standard MRN model. The dependence on the uncertain soft X-ray fluence of GRB 221009A is shown in the y-axis label. Vertical gray lines indicate 1σ error bars.
