Recent discoveries of terrestrial exoplanets distant from our solar system motivate laboratory experiments that provide insight into their formation and thermal evolution. Using laser-driven shock wave experiments, we constrain high-temperature and high-pressure adiabats and the equation of state of MgSiO₃ ,a dominant mantle constituent of terrestrial exoplanets. Critical to the development of a habitable exoplanet is the early thermal history, specifically the formation and freezing of the magma ocean and its role in enabling convection in the mantle and core. We measure the adiabatic sound speed and constrain the melt transition along the Hugoniot and find that the adiabats and melt boundary of silicate magmas are shallower than predicted. In conclusion, this suggests that small changes in the temperature of a super-Earth mantle would result in rapid melting and solidification of nearly the entire mantle.
