The radius anomaly in the planet/brown dwarf overlapping mass regime

The recent detection of the transit of very massive substellar companions (Deleuil et al. 2008; Bouchy et al. 2010; Anderson et al. 2010; Bakos et al. 2010) provides a strong constraint to planet and brown dwarf formation and migration mechanisms.
