Scientific paper

The evolution of an object of Jupiter mass contracting under gravity while being heated at its outer surface by the Sun is considered. Degenerate pressure in its interior is included. It is found that a good agreement with the present effective temperature and luminosity of Jupiter is predicted. The derived age of the evolved body is not in contradiction with the ages of other objects in the Solar System.
