| contents | Data tables on the equation of state (EOS) and microscopic structures for cold dense stellar matter with proton fractions $Y_p =0.01$-$0.65$ and baryon number densities $n_\text{b}=10^{-8}$-$2 \ \mathrm{fm}^{-3}$ are obtained adopting 13 different relativistic density functionals, i.e., NL3, PK1, PK1r, GM1, MTVTC, DD-LZ1, PKDD, DD-ME2, TW99, DD-MEX, DD-MEX1, DD-MEX2, and DD-MEY. The EOSs of dense stellar matter inside neutron stars with baryon number densities $n_\text{b}=7.6\times 10^{-11}$-$2 \ \mathrm{fm}^{-3}$ are obtained as well fulfilling $β$-stability condition. In general, the dense stellar matter exhibits droplet phase at $n_\mathrm{b}\lesssim 0.015\ \mathrm{fm}^{-3}$, while more exotic structures such as rods, slabs, tubes, and bubbles appear sequentially as density increases. The critical proton fractions $Y_p^\mathrm{drip}$ ($\approx 0.26$-0.31) for neutron drip are obtained, where neutron gas emerges outside of nuclei at $Y_p< Y_p^\mathrm{drip}$. For dense stellar matter at small densities ($n_\text{b}\lesssim 10^{-5} \ \mathrm{fm}^{-3}$) or large proton fractions ($n_\text{b}\lesssim0.1 \ \mathrm{fm}^{-3}$ and $Y_p\gtrsim Y_p^\mathrm{drip}$), the EOSs and microscopic structures are generally insensitive to the adopted density functionals. With the onset of neutron drip at $Y_p\lesssim Y_p^\mathrm{drip}$, the uncertainties emerge and peak at $n_\text{b} \approx 0.02 \ \mathrm{fm}^{-3}$ within the range $10^{-5} \lesssim n_\text{b}\lesssim0.1 \ \mathrm{fm}^{-3}$. At $n_\text{b}\gtrsim0.1 \ \mathrm{fm}^{-3}$, the dense stellar matter becomes uniform and muons eventually appear, where the uncertainties in the EOSs grow significantly. |
