Figure 37: Mass of the crust for the SLy EoS [125]. The neutron star mass is M = 1.4M ⊙. For this EoS, spherical nuclei persist down to the crust-core interface. Left panel: fractional mass of the crust shell, ΔM ∕M, vs. its bottom density ρ. Right panel: proper depth below the star surface, z vs. mass density ρ.
