Models used for the conductivity by vibration and electrons.

Conductivity	k_vib	k_elec	References
Cond-1	H₂O	Partially ionized H₂O	(1), (2)
Cond-2	–	Fully ionized	(3)
Cond-3	–	Constant $k_{elec} = 4 \frac{W}{mK}$ ${k_{{\rm{elec}}}} = 4{{\rm{W}} \over {{\rm{mK}}}}$	–
Cond-4	MgSiO₃	Partially ionized H₂O	(1), (4)

Notes. All models use the AESOPUS2.1 radiative opacity. (1) French & Redmer (2017), (2) French (2019), (3) Cassisi et al. (2007), (4) Stamenković et al. (2011).
