A numerical solution of the problem of nonstationary heating of a two-dimensional nanoparticle by laser radiation in the approximation of a constant temperature over the nanoparticle volume is presented. The asymptotes to the heating temperature for long times and for maximum heating of a nanoparticle at long durations of laser radiation have been obtained. It is shown that the temperatures of heating of silver and gold nanoparticles subjected to laser radiation at a resonance wavelength of plasmons are appreciable and may reach the boiling temperature of water.
