Fig. 5.

Time evolution of the total dust mass with (solid line) and without (other lines) metallicity dependence for the dust mass growth timescale. Here we adopt τSF = 5 Gyr, Mtot = 1010 M and η = 1.00. The three values of τacc represent Z = 0.2 Z (dotted line), Z = 1.0 Z (dashed line) and Z = 2.0 Z (dot-dashed line), respectively.
