Abstract
We present predictions for energies, proton and neutron rms radii, and neutron skins of some closed-shell nuclei based upon a microscopic model of the equation of state for asymmetric nuclear matter which is used as input for a mass formula. We employ realistic two-body forces and the Dirac-Brueckner-Hartree-Fock approach to nuclear matter. We compare with experimental information, when available, and point out the need for accurate determinations of neutron densities and skins.
