Radius vs. mass iso-contours from a suite of evolutionary calculations. The solid red lines show R/ R J vs. M/ M J at fixed values of log (age[yr]), labeled on the left of each curve. The dashed blue curves are for fixed entropy, with each curve labeled by S/( N A k B) on the right. The dotted black curves are for fixed luminosity, with each curve labeled by log ( L[erg s −1]) above M = 1  M J. The green curve at the bottom is the T = 0 MR relation from Zapolsky & Salpeter (1969) for a solar mixture of H and He.
