Composition of an NS crust as a function of baryon number density in terms of numbers of neutrons (bottom panel) and protons (top panel) of nuclei. The eNSE results obtained in this work for β-equilibrated matter with T = 0.1 MeV are compared with the results of Pearson et al. (2018). The considered effective interactions are BSk22 and BSk25 (Goriely et al. 2013). We note that BSk25 results of Pearson et al. (2018) are scaled by a factor of 1/5. The vertical dashed lines respectively mark the transition to homogeneous matter for BSk22, n_tr = 5.70 ⋅ 10⁻² fm⁻³ and 6.35 ⋅ 10⁻² fm⁻³, for the eNSE results and the results of Pearson et al. (2018). Horizontal dotted lines correspond to magic numbers: Z = 8, 20, 28 and N = 8, 20, 28, 50, 82.
