  5. Spectral Energy Distribution

  6. Spectral Energy Distribution • Integral luminosity

  7. Spectral Energy Distribution • Integral luminosity • Shape optical depth

  8. Spectral Energy Distribution • Integral luminosity • Shape optical depth … but measuring mass-loss rate requires: • Dust-to-gas ratio

  9. Spectral Energy Distribution • Integral luminosity • Shape optical depth … but measuring mass-loss rate requires: • Dust-to-gas ratio • Wind speed
