I never found a more satisfactory solution than the following snippet.

plot, [0, 0], [0, 0], /nodata, $
xrange = [8, 16], xtitle = "Radius [km]",$
ytitle = "Mass [M ]", yrange = [0, 3.5], $
position = [0.10, 0.15, 0.53, 0.95], $
xtickname = ['8', '10', '12', '14', ' ']

xyouts, 6.80, 1.96, /data, "!9!Z(6E)!X", font = -1, charthick = 3, $
charsize = 1.5

which gave me something that looked like this.

Fortunately, I only had a few different plots to make.
