abstract
We employ the recently improved description of dense baryonic matter within the Witten-Sakai-Sugimoto model to construct neutron stars. In contrast to previous holographic approaches, the presence of an isospin asymmetry allows us to implement beta equilibrium and electric charge neutrality. As a consequence, we are able to model the crust of the star within the same formalism and compute the location of the crust-core transition dynamically. After showing that a simple pointlike approximation for the baryons fails to satisfy astrophysical constraints, we demonstrate that our improved description does account for neutron stars that meet the current experimental constraints for mass, radius, and tidal deformability. However, we also point out tensions in the parameter fit and large-$N_c$ artifacts and discuss how to potentially resolve them in the future.

How neutron star properties disfavor a nuclear chiral density wave
Within this nucleon-meson model, a chiral density wave in neutron star cores is only stable for equations of state too soft to support observed two-solar-mass pulsars, predicting isotropic cores.
