Description
I will present latest results within the holographic Witten-Sakai-Sugimoto model for dense matter at nonzero baryon and isospin chemical potentials. In particular, I will discuss the phase structure including phases where baryonic matter and meson condensates coexist. As an application I will show that the results can be used to construct entire neutron stars, including the inhomogeneous crust. These 'holographic stars' obey the astrophysical constraints on mass, radius, and tidal deformability and can be used to make further predictions for these quantities.
