Effective temperature/age relation defined by the Burrows et al. (1997, 1993) models. The evolutionary tracks are plotted for masses of between 0.009 and 0.10 M, with the individual curves identified on the diagram. The horizontal lines outline the temperature range which corresponds to the L dwarf spectral type.
