Abstract

We show that the extended cosmological equation-of-state developed starting from a Chaplygin equation-of-state, recently applied to stellar modelling, is a viable dark energy model consistent with standard scalar potentials. Moreover we find a Lagrangian formulation based on a canonical scalar field with the appropriate self-interaction potential. Finally, we fit the scalar potential obtained numerically with concrete functions well studied in the literature. Our results may be of interest to model builders and particle physicists.
