Evidence from the paper

Table 2 shows the calculated Vinet parameters for the melt phases of two oxide systems (MgO and CaO), extrapolated back to melting point temperatures. ... MgO(l) | 3105 | 36.4 | 37.5 | 3.9

note
Melt-phase Vinet parameters derived from Monte Carlo simulations; not a static lower-mantle EOS determination. No V0 reported for MgO in Table 2.
