Abstract Model agglomerated debris particles are designed to mimic the morphology of highly irregular dust particles. They have a non-analytical description and their light-scattering properties can be calculated using the discrete dipole approximation. It has been demonstrated that the light-scattering properties of a polydispersion of real dust particles can be replicated by agglomerated debris particles having the same refractive index and size distribution, making it possible to perform accurate inversions of light-scattering data. We demonstrate the use of these particles in making retrievals.
