Evidence from the paper

'The shock and static data can be fit together using a third-order Birch-Murnaghan isentrope for Ps, with V0 fixed to 162.2 Å3 [Guignot et al., 2007]. We obtain K0S = 225(2) GPa and K'0S = 4.21(7)'; Table 4: Postperovskite, Model BM3, V, Å3 162.2, K0S, GPa 225(2), K'0S 4.21(7)
