The simulation of astrophysical processes such as supernovae explosions and compact star formation requires realistic models for the equation of state of stellar matter in a wide range of density, temperature and isospin asymmetry. The properties of dense matter, in particular the chemical composition and phase transitions, are strongly affected by correlations. They can be considered partly by using quasi-particle concepts. Explicit correlations are treated in the model by introducing additional degrees of freedom with medium-dependent properties. In this contribution, the formation and dissolution of clusters, i.e. many-nucleon correlations, and the crystallization of matter due to long-range Coulomb correlations will be described in an effective way using a relativistic density functional approach taking into account various experimental constraints.
