Abstract
Dust species in the envelopes around AGB stars would have multiple components rather than a single component. Each dust species may have its own temperature and density structure. We use the radiative transfer code RADMC-3D developed by Dullemond et al. 2011 to model the multi-component dust envelopes around O-rich AGB stars. For reasonable combinations of physical and chemical parameters of the dust envelopes, we use multi-component dust species of silicate, corundum, and water ice. We find that the new model results can explain the observations of O-rich AGB stars better than conventional models.
