Simulated age distributions for each of the 150 K T_eff bins. (a) The single power law of α = 0.5 coupled with the Saumon & Marley (2008) evolutionary tracks. (b) The same, but coupled with the Baraffe et al. (2003) evolutionary tracks. Because the Saumon & Marley (2008) models do not extend below 300 K, the bin in the lower right of panel (a) is empty. For ease of comparison, the same x and y scaling is used for all subpanels. The colored triangles along the bottom edge of each subpanel show the median age for cutoff masses of 10M_Jup (blue), 5M_Jup (green), and 1M_Jup (red); these triangles overlap in all but the coldest bins.
