Description
In the present paper we employ the quark-meson coupling model
(QMC) to investigate the onset of the pasta phase
in nuclear matter under conditions such as those
expected in neutron star crusts.
Pasta is obtained with fixed proton fractions and for beta equilibrated
matter.
We probe our results into restrictions imposed on the
the values of the density and pressure at the inner edge of the crust,
recently achieved by observation, as well as comparing them
to the pasta obtained from Walecka-type models.
