From neutron skins and neutron matter to the neutron star crust

We present the first Bayesian inference of neutron star crust properties to incorporate neutron skin data, including the recent PREX measurement of the neutron skin of 208Pb, combined with recent chiral effective field theory predictions of pure neutron matter with statistical errors. Using a compre...
