Scientific paper

A numerical method is developed for solving the equation of hydrostatic
equilibrium with allowance for corrections for the asphericity of the
planet. Radial density distributions are found for a set of polytropes
with indices of from 1 to 2 in planets with the parameters of Jupiter,
Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune.
