Diagram of the orbital radius versus Jupiter's mass. The
grey area corresponds to the condition where the object would be
orbiting the planet as a satellite. The line labeled Jean's
Relation gives the evolution of the orbital radius as a function
of the mass of Jupiter for an object that would be orbiting as a
satellite of Jupiter at the present moment in a circular orbit
