L'ARC-It e' il nodo italiano della rete europea dell'ALMA Regional Center. Ha il duplice scopo di supportare la comunita' italiana interessata all'uso di ALMA, e di contribuire all'operativita' del telescopio stesso. Il supporto agli utenti va dalla fase di preparazione delle proposte osservative fino all'analisi dati e allo sfruttamento di dati di archivio. Eventi periodici sono organizzati per riunire la comunita' (sub-)mm, e particolare attenzione e' rivolta alle nuove generazioni attraverso scuole, corsi universitari, supervisione di tesi. Le attivita' di supporto al telescopio vanno dal controllo di qualita' dei dati, alle attivita' di test e miglioramento di nuove funzionalita'. Le aree di maggior competenza del nodo sono: sviluppo dell'archivio, polarizzazione e mm-VLBI.
The ARC-It is the Italian node of the European ALMA Region Center network. It has a twofold aim: supporting the local community interested in using ALMA, and contributing to maintaining the telescope operational. The users are supported throughout the entire lifetime of a project, from proposal preparation to data analysis, and archive data mining. Periodic events are hosted to gather the (sub-)mm community, and special attention is paid to raise a new generation with schools, university lectures and courses, and thesis supervision. The contribution to the telescope operation goes from the data quality assessment, to the extention of new capabilities, in particular in the node's areas of expertise: archive data mining, polarisation and mm-VLBI.

Informazioni Pubbliche
Although our activity is primarily one of support, all ARC-It staff have their own scientific interests and when not occupied with support or educational activities they carry out research. Our interests lie in these fields: Observational astronomy (data analysis; mm astronomy; interferometry); interstellar medium and stars (clouds; dust; circumstellar matter; masers; star formation; astrochemistry); galactic and extra-galactic astronomy (galaxies and galaxy physics; AGN); black holes; cosmology. SCHEDE connected with this one: ARI-L; Planck_lensed (schede figlia)
The Italian ARC is lead by INAF. The EU ARC as a whole is led by ESO, with which we (INAF) signed an MoU.

21. Fondi a Sostegno Iniziativa
The ARC receives funding from INAF. A budget request is made every year, presenting a plan of operation covering a period of at least two years to ensure continuity in the execution of our tasks for the community. The budget covers the salaries of the postdocs, maintenance and upgrades for the computer cluster, organisation of workshops and conferences, and travel. The date of end of activities is unknown but assuming it is 2030 (max of the scheda) and that the request will be equal to that of the last 2 years, we arrive at the number indicated for the second entry. Because of our activities and expertise, we have become involved in projects such as AENEAS and Black Hole Cam (BHC), that came with separate funding; these funds were used to pay postdocs to work exclusively on those projects and to acquire a dedicated server (BHC) and are therefore not entered under external ARC-funds. Likewise, the ARC-led ALMA Development Plan, ARI-L (see item 10), is independently funded by ESO and has its own scheda (scheda figlia to this one); postdocs hired work exclusively on ARI-L. On the other hand, funding received in the context of the premiale project “iALMA” (2015-17; PI: Testi) has been used for ARC development and is entered here as extra funding; similarly for the support we received from RadioNet, for the organization of some workshops and training events (catering, travel and/or support for participants with limited financial resources). We have also benefitted from the presence of an ESO Cofund-Fellow (2010-13), who worked for the ARC and was paid by ESO.
