Caption: Figure 29.

Fits of power laws with α = 0.5 (top panel), α = 0.6 (middle panel), and α = 0.7 (bottom panel) to our observational data (black points). These predicted T_eff distributions have been passed through the evolutionary models of Saumon & Marley (2008). Each panel shows simulations for three low-mass cutoffs: 10 M_Jup (blue), 5 M_Jup (green), and 1 M_Jup (red). The minimum reduced χ² values are found for the α = 0.6 model.
