Our attention has recently been drawn to a few typographical errors in the above paper.

On page 1099, Eq. 9, the temperature T should not be in the left-hand side, and the negative sign in the square brackets in its right-hand-side should be a positive sign. Thus the correct equation is:

$$ R \ln a_{\text{liq}} = \Updelta H_{{0,T_{\text{F}} }}^{\text{fus}} \left( {\frac{1}{{T_{\text{F}} }} - \frac{1}{{T_{\text{F}} - \theta_{\text{F}} }}} \right) + \Updelta C_{p}^{\text{fus}} \left[ {{ \ln }\left( {\frac{{T_{\text{F}} - \theta_{\text{F}} }}{{T_{\text{F}} }}} \right) + \frac{{\theta_{\text{F}} }}{{T_{\text{F}} - \theta_{\text{F}} }}} \right] $$
(9)

On page 1099, Eq. 11, T should not be in the last term of Eq. 11, and the correct equation is:

$$ \Updelta H_{{0,T_{F} }}^{\text{fus}} \left( {\frac{1}{{T_{F} }} - \frac{1}{{T_{F} - \theta_{F} }}} \right) + \frac{{\Updelta C_{p}^{\text{fus}} }}{2}\left( {\frac{{\theta_{F} }}{{T_{F} - \theta_{F} }}} \right)^{2} - R \ln a_{\text{liq}} = 0 $$
(11)

On page 1099, Eq. 12, the gas constant R was missing in the first term under the radical sign, and the correct equation is:

$$ \theta_{\text{F}} = \frac{{\Updelta H_{{0,T_{\text{F}} }}^{\text{fus}} - 2RT_{\text{F}} \ln a_{\text{liq}} - \sqrt {2\Updelta C_{p}^{\text{fus}} T_{\text{F}}^{2} R \ln a_{\text{liq}} + \left( {\Updelta H_{{0,T_{\text{F}} }}^{\text{fus}} } \right)^{2} } }}{{2\left( {\Updelta H_{{0,T_{\text{F}} }}^{\text{fus}}/T_{\text{F}} + 0.5\Updelta C_{p}^{\text{fus}} - R \ln a_{{{\text{liq}}}} } \right)}} $$
(12)

On page 1100, Eq. 16, T should not be in the left-hand-side and negative sign was missing in the first term of right-hand-side, and the correct equation is:

$$ - R \ln a_{\text{liq}} = - \Updelta H_{{0,T_{\text{B}} }}^{\text{vap}} \left( {\frac{1}{{T_{\text{B}} }} - \frac{1}{{T_{\rm B} + \theta_{\rm B} }}} \right) + \Updelta C_{p}^{\text{vap}} \left[ {{ \ln }\left( {\frac{{T_{\text{B}} + \theta_{\text{B}} }}{{T_{\text{B}} }}} \right) - \frac{{\theta_{\text{B}} }}{{T_{\text{B}} + \theta_{\text{B}} }}} \right] $$
(16)

On page 1100, Eq. 17, R is missing in the second term under the radical sign, and the correct equation is:

$$ \theta_{\text{B}} = \frac{{ - \Updelta H_{{0,T_{\text{B}} }}^{\text{vap}} - 2RT_{\text{B}} \ln a_{\text{liq}} + \sqrt {\left( {\Updelta H_{{0,T_{\text{B}} }}^{\text{vap}} } \right)^{2} - 2\Updelta C_{p}^{\text{vap}} T_{\text{B}}^{2} R \ln a_{\text{liq}} } }}{{2(\Updelta H_{{0,T_{\text{B}} }}^{\text{vap}} /T_{\text{B}} + 0.5\Updelta C_{p}^{\text{vap}} - R \ln a_{{{\text{liq}}}} )}} $$
(17)

In all instances, the subsequent calculations in the paper used the correct equations as listed above and not the original equations with errors. Thus the results presented there are unchanged.
