Abstract: We present various properties of nuclear and compact-star matter, comparing the predictions from two kinds of phenomenological approaches: relativistic models (with both constant and density-dependent couplings) and nonrelativistic Skyrme-type interactions. We mainly focus on the liquid-gas instabilities that occur at subsaturation densities, leading to the decomposition of the homogeneous matter into a clusterized phase. Such study is related to the description of neutron-star crust (at zero temperature) and supernova dynamics (at finite temperature).
