Scientific paper

The formation of giant planets is studied by a hydrodynamical calculation of the gas-accretion caused by the gravitational pull of a growing terrestrial planet at small distances from a star. The equations of radiation hydrodynamics in spherical symmetry are solved for the gas flow from the nebula onto the growing condensible element core. Conditions for the onset of rapid gas accretion in the vicinity of the star are discussed an nonlinear calculations of the accumulation of a Jupiter mass are presented. For a minimum mass solar nebula a giant planet can form at 0.05 au if a solid core of 7 earth masses is accumulated.
