Figure 24: Baryon chemical potential at T = 0, μ = (ℰ + P)∕n b b vs. pressure for different models of neutron star crust. Black solid line: (0) μb (P ) for the ground-state crust. Lines with discontinuous drops: μ(bα)(P ) for four evolution models in the accreted crust with Ai = 56. Upper four smooth lines, which nearly coincide: (α) ∑ (α) μ b (P ) + j(P<Pj)Q j ≈ ¯μb(P ).
