Gold thermodynamic properties were examined by molecular dynamics with use of the embedded atom model. The LAMMPS package was used. Equilibrium melting temperature and specific heat as function of pressure were determined in range from 0 to 100 kbar. Density and specific heat as function of temperature were determined in range from 300 to 5000 K that included melting region. The modeling results were consistent with those from other authors both experimental and determined with other methods. These dependences and quantities can be used as input data for the continuum model of pulsed laser heating of matter.
