Abstract

In this paper, we study the role of the symmetry energy on the composition of the outer crust of a neutron star. Although some correlations can be observed at the neutron-drip transition, the composition of the outer crust is mainly sensitive to the details of the nuclear structure far from the valley of stability rather than to the symmetry energy only.
