A practical computational method is presented for the solution of radiative transfer problems in spherically symmetric systems. This procedure involves iteration on the ‘Eddington factor’ f = K/J and is designed to handle the outward peaking of the radiation field in extended spherical systems. Extensive numerical results are obtained and discussed for systems in which |kρ\,=\,r⁻ⁿ,o< r R,\,for\,n\,=\,3/2,\,2\,and\,3|.
