Equilibrium temperature of compact spherical icy grains as a function of grain radius. The left and right panels show results at rH = 1.36 and 3 au, respectively. Solid blue curves show pure water ice, while orange curves show water ice containing carbonaceous inclusions with volume fraction fC = 5%. The horizontal dashed–dotted lines show the corresponding blackbody temperatures.
