Extended Data Table 3 Calculated thermal expansion coefficient (α), specific heat capacity (CV), Grüneisen parameter (γ), isothermal bulk modulus (KT), dKT/dT, isentropic bulk modulus (KS), density (ρ) and bulk sound velocity (VΦ) of liquid silicates and Fe at the top of Mars’s core

  1. Data for liquid iron are taken from ref. 3 for comparison. Uncertainties in density and velocity are obtained by equation-of-state fitting (Eq. (5)), followed by error propogation, which are smaller than the corresponding uncertainties in the mixing model.
