For pressures below 20 GPa, they use experimentally determined solidus and liquidus temperatures for a chondritic mantle composition from Herzberg and Zhang (1996). At pressures above 20 GPa, the difference between the F-peridotitic and A-chondritic solidus curves is considered negligible, and thus the A-chondritic solidus from Andrault et al. (2011) is adopted.

The liquidus curves are fitted independently: the F-peridotitic liquidus follows Fiquet et al. (2010), while the A-chondritic liquidus is based on Andrault et al. (2011), each with their respective fitting parameters. In this case, this set of melting curves was created in such a way that the liquidus (Equations (11,13) from Monteux et al. (2016)) is used as a normal liquidus, and the solidus is the liquidus shifted -600K.
