Parameters and temperatures of shock melt
| P, GPa | Chondrite | Basalt | Source |
|---|---|---|---|
| 25–50 | 25–40 | ||
| γo | 0.81 | 0.356 | 1 |
| q | − 1.41 | − 1.63 | 1 |
| ρ, g/cm3 | 3.7–4.1 | 3.9–4.2 | 2, 3 |
| ρo, g/cm3 | 2.8 | 2.5 | 2, 3 |
| Tshock, K | 2400–3300 | 2700–3200 | |
| Tps, K | 1815–2143 | 2140–2394 |
γo and q: zero-pressure Grüneisen parameter and the exponent factor. ρ and ρo: density at high and zero pressure. The shock temperature Tshock of melt is assumed to be slightly above the liquidus. Post-shock temperature Tps is calculated using the listed parameters
