Evidence from the paper

... comparing it with the direct adiabatic bulk modulus determinations made from low-pressure Brillouin spectroscopy measurements like those of Sinogeikin et al. [2004], who reported a zero-pressure adiabatic bulk modulus of 253 ± 3 GPa for single-crystal Fe-free bridgmanite.

Additional notes

comparison
This study's computed KS0 = 255.7 ± 4.4 GPa (from KS = KT(1 + αγT) at 0 GPa, 300 K) is consistent with this measurement
