A self-similar regime of gravitational collapse is investigated for the case of volume energy losses. The first stage of the collapse occurs cumulatively: at a certain point in time, the density in the center turns to infinity. At the second stage, a point mass originates in the center; this mass increases with time due to the accretion of the matter distributed in space. The applicability limits of the self-similar solution are established in connection with the onset of the opacity of the collapsing matter with respect to the radiation carrying away the energy. The self-similar solutions are applied to the collapse of evolved stellar cores as well as to that of interstellar clouds of molecular hydrogen.
