Numerical radiative transfer models are used to study circumstellar dust grains around the peculiar Be star HD 45677. The modeling technique is to fit the observed far-ultraviolet through far-infrared energy distribution with the energy distributions predicted for a spherical dust shell around a luminous hot star. Such a simultaneous multi-wavelength study makes it possible to strengthen constraints on dust-grain properties. It is found that the observations can be fitted with the emergent spectrum of a spherical shell consisting of a graphite-silicate mixture. The grain-size distribution is similar to that for diffuse cloud dust, but the circumstellar dust contains large grains with a maximum size of about 1 micron. This result is consistent with a scenario in which HD 45677 is a young stellar object (100 Myr or less), with the dust shell being a fossil of the molecular cloud left over from star formation.
