Matching the crust and core equations of state with different smooth interpolation functions has only a modest effect on the predicted mass, radius, and tidal deformability of neutron stars, provided the matching occurs above the crust-core transition.

abstract
With a interpolation method on the P-$\mu$ plane, a hybrid equation of state is explored. The quark phase is described by our newly developed self-consistent two-flavor Nambu$-$Jona-Lasinio model. It retains the contribution from the vector channel in the Fierz-transformed Lagrangian by introducing a weighting parameter $\alpha$ [Chin. Phys. C \textbf{43}, 084102 (2019)]. In the hadron phase we use the relativistic mean-field theory. We study the dependence of hybrid EOS and mass-radius relation on $\alpha$. It is found that increasing $\alpha$ makes the hybrid EOS softer in the medium pressure. We can get stellar mass larger than $2M_\odot$. Further, we calculate the tidal deformability $\tilde\Lambda$ for binary stars and compare with recent analysis GW170817 [Phys. Rev. X \textbf{9}, 011001 (2019)].

An Overview of the MUSES Calculation Engine and How It Can Be Used to Describe Neutron Stars
Matching the crust and core equations of state with different smooth interpolation functions has only a modest effect on the predicted mass, radius, and tidal deformability of neutron stars, provided the matching occurs above the crust-core transition.
