Funders

The COMPASS team acknowledges the use of the following ALMA data: ADS/JAO.ALMA#2022.1.00316.L. ALMA is a partnership of ESO (representing its member states), NSF (USA) and NINS (Japan), together with NRC (Canada), NSTC and ASIAA (Taiwan), and KASI (Republic of Korea), in cooperation with the Republic of Chile. The Joint ALMA Observatory is operated by ESO, AUI/NRAO and NAOJ. The COMPASS project received support from ORP, that is funded by the European Union’s Horizon 2020 research and innovation programme under grant agreement No 101004719 [ORP].
  • A.C., A.A., P.M., F.C.S.M., and C.-L.C. received financial support from the European Research Council (ERC) under the European Union’s Horizon 2020 research and innovation programme (ERC Starting Grant “Chemtrip”, grant agreement No 949278).
  • J.-E.L., J.-H.J., H.-S.Y., and C.-H.K. were supported by the National Research Foundation of Korea (NRF) grant funded by the Korea government (MSIT) (grant numbers 2021R1A2C1011718 and RS-2024-00416859). J.-H.J was also supported by Basic Science Research Program through the National Research Foundation of Korea (NRF) funded by the Ministry of Education (grant number RS-2025-25402622).
  • D.H. is supported by a Center for Informatics and Computation in Astronomy (CICA) grant and grant number 110J0353I9 from the Ministry of Education of Taiwan.
