Melting and density of MgSiO3 determined by shock compression of bridgmanite to 1254GPa

The authors here report high melting temperatures of MgSiO3 at 500 GPa by direct shockwave loading of pre-synthesized dense bridgemanite. This is essential data to understand the thermal evolution of the interiors of terrestrial (exo-)planets.
