Abstract
Dynamical collapse of a molecular cloud core and the formation of a star are investigated by performing radiation hydrodynamic calculations in spherical symmetry. The angle-dependent and frequency-dependent radiative transfer equation is solved without any diffusion approximations, and the evolution of the spectral energy distribution (SED) is examined.
