Notes. Comparison of the start time t1, end time t2, the duration Δt of iron melt migration, the time of the last migration of silicate melt in a pure silicate matrix t3 as well as the peak temperature Tpeak, the relative size Dc of the iron core and the relative thickness Dm of the silicate mantle for the cases L1, L2, L3, R1, LR and R3. Note that for the case L3 no silicate melt migration inside a pure silicate matrix took place.
