Using standard thermodynamics and previous results of the author, this paper aims to discuss the conditions for phase equilibrium in a Lennard-Jones fluid. Possibilities for astrophysical applications of the obtained results are discussed to some extent, including an unexpected application - in physics of extremely dense matter concerning studies of neutron stars.
