Caption: Figure 3.

Apparent L′ and NB4.05 magnitudes of β Pic b (black cross) compared to theoretical isochrones based on the DUSTY models from Chabrier et al. (2000). Circles, triangles, and boxes denote objects with 5, 10, and 15 M _Jupiter, respectively. The age of the objects is color-coded with red symbols being 8 Myr, black being 12 Myr, and blue being 20 Myr. The dashed black line shows the 12 Myr isochrone.
