Fig. 1: VISAR analysis and results.

a A representative VISAR image at 819(72) GPa from LULI experiments and its corresponding shock velocity (US) versus time at the SiO2 window side. The orange rectangle shows the fringes used in the analysis. b The US of SiO2 was used in an impedance matching method with Monte Carlo simulations to derive the Hugoniot state of Al first and then of the FeOOH sample in the pressure-particle velocity (P-UP) space. c Shock velocity (US) versus particle velocity (UP) for FeOOH. Red circles with error bars are US-UP data from this study, while open blue squares with error bars are from a previous gas gun study25. A linear function was used to fit our LULI and MEC data (red line). Inset is a zoom-in showing UP below 3.2 km/s.
