In addition, recent evidence suggests that planet formation starts already during Class I phase, which, therefore, represents a crucial step in the future planetary system chemical composition. Hence, the study of hot corinos in Class I protostars has become of paramount importance. Here we report the discovery of a hot corino towards the prototypical Class I protostar L1551 IRS5, obtained within the ALMA Large Program FAUST. We detected several lines from methanol and its isopotologues ($^{13}$CH$_{\\rm 3}$OH and CH$_{\\rm 2}$DOH), methyl formate and ethanol. Lines are bright toward the north component of the IRS5 binary system, and a possible second hot corino may be associated with the south component. The methanol lines non-LTE analysis constrains the gas temperature ($\\sim$100 K), density ($\\geq$1.5$\\times$10$^{8}$ cm$^{-3}$), and emitting size ($\\sim$10 au in radius). All CH$_{\\rm 3}$OH and $^{13}$CH$_{\\rm 3}$OH lines are optically thick, preventing a reliable measure of the deuteration. The methyl formate and ethanol relative abundances are compatible with those measured in Class 0 hot corinos. Thus, based on the present work, little chemical evolution from Class 0 to I hot corinos occurs.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2020-07-20T16:56:29.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "hot corino", "protostar l1551 irs5", "prototypical class", "methanol lines non-lte analysis constrains", "alma large program faust" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 6, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
