FAUST è un progetto basato sul primo Large Program ALMA focalizzato all'astrochimica di regioni di formazione stellare di tipo Solare. co-led by INAF (C. Codella). L'obiettivo principale e' lo studio delle proprieta' fisco-chimiche delle regioni protostellari su varie scale spaziali, dall'envelope (2000 au) ai dischi protoplanetari su scale del Sistema Solare (< 50 au). Che mix di gas (Complex Organics) e polveri aveva il nostro Sistema Solare quando si e' formato? FAUST ha permesso ad ALMA di trovare/risolvere problemi legati alla calibrazione (https://help.almascience.org/kb/articles/what-errors-could-originate-from-the-correlator-spectral-normalization-and-tsys-calibration). Come conseguenza, la consegna dei dati finali sarà completata entro la fine di Aprile 2023.
FAUST is the first ALMA LP (co-led by INAF) on astrochemistry. The huge variety of planetary systems discovered depends on the early history of their formation. The goal is to reveal/quantify the chemical composition of the envelope/disk system in a sample of Class 0/I protostars, namely (1) to disentangle the components of the 50-2000 au envelope/disk system, (2) to characterise the organic, (3) to probe their ionization structure, and (4) to measure deuteration (http://faust-alma.riken.jp). Final datacubes calibration was challenging: FAUST allowed ALMA to fix calibration issues (https://help.almascience.org/kb/articles/what-errors-could-originate-from-the-correlator-spectral-normalization-and-tsys-calibration). Thus, the final dataset will be completed by the end of 2023 April.

Astrochemistry - Astrobiology - Planetary disks - Protostars - Young Stellar Objects - Interstellar Medium - Interstellar Emission - Interstellar Molecules. The FAUST project is part of the ASTROCHEMISTRY@INAF - PROTOPLANETARY program.
C. Codella (INAF OAA) is co-PI of the project. In addition, INAF OAA is also coordinating (in synergy with RIKEN, Tokyo) the Work Package on the selection of Sources, verifying that the continuum and line datasets are fully exploited.

The context of this project (Astrochemistry of Sun-like star forming regions) was awarded by several MIUR, INAF, EU fundings: (1) PRIN-MIUR 2016 STAR IN THE CAOS PRIN-MIUR project (Simulation Tools for Astrochemical Reactivity and Spectroscopy in the Cyberinfrastructure for Astrochemical Organic Species) PI. V. Barone (Total: 180 kE; Total INAF 20 kEuro); (2) GENESIS-SKA PRIN-INAF project (GEneral conNditions in Early Planetary Systems for the rISe of life with SKA), PI C. Codella (Total: 408 kEuro); (3) ASTRO-CHEMICAL ORIGINS (ACO) ITN H2020 EC MARIE SKŁODOWSKA-CURIE ACTIONS, PI C. Ceccarelli (Total: 4138 kEuro; Total INAF: 392 KEuro). EU ACO have been focused to train PhD students, who are going to conclude their PhD projects at the end of 2022. Note, however, that the first two programs are over, while the ACO EU project is focused on the training of PhD students (who will conclude their projects this year), and it does not allow the recruitment of post-doctoral positions. As also reported in the comments provided by INAF on Scheda FAUST 2021, the INAF role would definitely benefit if post-docs with an expertise on astrochemistry could be assigned to this project. Final datacubes calibration has been challenging: FAUST allowed ALMA to fix several uses (https://help.almascience.org/kb/articles/what-errors-could-originate-from-the-correlator-spectral-normalization-and-tsys-calibration). In conclusions, after some delay, the final dataset started to be released on 2022 December and will be completed by the end of 2023 April. An experienced postdoc is needed to boost the publications led by INAF before data will be public.
