Abstract: We study aggregation driven by a localized source of monomers. The densities become stationary and have algebraic tails far away from the source. We show that in a model with mass-independent reaction rates and diffusion coefficients, the density of monomers decays as

in

d

dimensions. The decay exponent has irrational values in physically relevant dimensions:

and

. We also study Brownian coagulation with a localized source and establish the behavior of the total cluster density and the total number of of clusters in the system. The latter quantity exhibits a logarithmic growth with time.
