Figure 38: Mass of the crust for the FPS EoS [274]. The neutron star mass is M = 1.4 M ⊙. Notice the presence of the pasta layer, which are absent for the SLy EoS. The pasta phases occupy a thin density layer, but contain about 48% of the crust mass. 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.
