Illustrating the three-different (mr, mi) domains for the complex refractive index of BC.: 1) The domain consistent with measured S(0°) for atmospheric BC (enclosed by black-dashed lines), 2) the domain consistent with measured MAC for various flame-generated BCs (red-filled area), and 3) the domain constrained by both MAC- and S(0°)-measurements (Moteki et al. 2023). The conventional assumptions BB06-l (1.75 + 0.63i) and BB06-h (1.95 + 0.79i) (gray-filled circles) and the recommendable value for practical uses 1.95 + 0.96i (blue-filled circle) suggested by Moteki et al. (2023) are also plotted
