| Abstract: | A discussion is given of the spontaneous coagulation of interstellar grains due to their natural Brownian motion. It is shown that the predicted present day size of such grains, assuming such a mechanism being operative, is in reasonable agreement with observations for three different environments that have been considered: namely, normal interstellar gas clouds, molecular clouds and the atmospheres of cool stars. |
