Résumé : We review the evolution of the Skyrme-Hartree-Fock-Bogoliubov mass models of the Brussels-Montreal group, with particular emphasis on the steps leading up to the most recent of these models, HFB-17. The extension of these models to the calculation of the equation of state of the inner crust of neutron stars is discussed. © 2009 American Institute of Physics.
