Scientific paper

The paper considers why the interstellar grains toward Rho Oph are unusually large. Because the visual opacity per gram is lower than average toward Rho Oph, it is concluded that the simplest interpretation of the observations is that grain coagulation has occurred. This result may be important for understanding the evolution of interstellar clouds and may provide insight into the initial stages of the formation of large solid bodies such as planets.
