Equations of state for neutron-star matter at densities above nuclear-matter density are usually joined onto an equation of state for matter at lower densities calculated using a different physical treatment. Since the way of making the join is not clearly defined, we have tested the sensitivity of derived neutron-star models to the way in which the matching is made. We consider the joining between Skyrme equations of state for the higher densities and the Baym-Bethe-Pethick equation of state for densities between the neutron-drip point and nuclear-matter density. Three different prescriptions for making the join are tested, and it is shown that the radius of the neutron star model can depend substantially on the details of the matching, whereas the mass is almost independent of the prescription used.
