Phase dependence of intensity I (left) and degree of linear polarization P (right) for agglomerated debris particles averaged over size and having a power-law size distribution with a = 1.5. The solid line corresponds to the case when particles of all available sizes are incorporated (x = 1–26, 32); whereas, the dashed line shows results only for small particles (x = 1–15). Each of the five different rows represents different material absorption spanning the range of the imaginary part of refractive index Im(m) from 0.0005 throughout 0.15.
