The resulting equation of state reproduces the main features of microscopic calculations very accurately and is compatible with recent measurements of two times Solar-mass neutron stars. We provide all necessary analytical expressions to facilitate a quick numerical implementation of quantities of astrophysical interest. %K dense matter %K equation of state %R 10.1051/0004-6361/201526720 %U http://arxiv.org/abs/1509.05744 %U https://doi.org/10.1051/0004-6361/201526720 %P A83 - 11pp
