Terms and Concepts for McSween et al. (2002)

heat of fusion - This is the heat content that must be added to a substance in order to melt it at constant pressure and temperature, or conversely, the heat content that is released from a substance as it solidifies from a liquid.

heat capacity - This is the quantity of heat required to raise the temperature of a substance by 1 degree at constant pressure or constant volume.

endothermic - This is a process that absorbs heat (such as the melting of water ice).

exothermic -  This is a process that releases heat (such as dehydration reactions).

metal-troilite eutectic -  This is the lowest-temparture melt that would occur in a chondrite.  It corresponds to a temperature of ~990 degrees C (~1260 K).

Temperature contours in Fig. 3, 4 and 5 of the paper were not explicitly given but appear to be in degrees Kelvin.
