Description
The gravitational fields and figures of Jupiter and Saturn at different times in their evolutionary contraction are found through a numerical solution of the system of integrodifferential figure equations. The time variation of their angular velocity and radial density distribution is taken into account. Time dependences are obtained for the flattening of the planetary figures and the field harmonics of numbers 2, 4, and 6
