Scientific paper

The present calculation of giant planet evolution proceeds under the hypothesis that the solid cores formed by small particle accretion later attracted their gaseous envelopes from the solar nebula gravitationally. Evolutionary calculations are presented for the beginning of gaseous envelope formation around the core mass; the growth of core and envelope to a critical core mass; the derivation of high luminosity from the envelope mass due to gravitational contraction, and the termination of both core and envelope accretion on a time-scale of 5 Gyr.
