Interstellar grains of radius less than 0.03 μm are known to have a fluctuating temperature because their internal energy is comparable to the energy of UV and visible photons. The authors give the exact resultant grain temperature distribution by studying the multiphoton absorption processes. This distribution satisfies an homogeneous integral equation which can be solved by an iteration technique. These small grains generally emit at shorter wavelengths than big cold grains and therefore could help in the interpretation of the infrared spectra (1 - 1000 μm) of various astrophysical objects.
