Evidence from the paper

By combining the Hugoniot results with ultrasonic data, the adiabatic bulk modulus and its first and second pressure derivatives at constant entropy are 162.5(2) GPa, 4.09(9), and -0.019(4) GPa-1. ... Solid curve is a fourth-order Birch-Murnaghan fit to shock data with K0S and K'0S constrained at ultrasonic values. Table 5: K0S, GPa 162.5(2) [Jackson and Niesler, 1982]; (dK0S/dP)S 4.09(9) [Jackson and Niesler, 1982]; (d2K0S/dP2)S, GPa-1 -0.019(4) [this study].
