Melting temperatures calculated from two-phase coexistence simulations at 330 GPa (brown circles). Simulations of varying O fraction were performed, from 0 to 28.7 mol % (mol % O is shown on lower axis and mol % FeO on the upper axis). Results on the melting temperature of FeO from Komabayashi26 (green diamond) and Frost et al.30 (red square) are 6047 K and 4459 K, respectively.
