/ Abstract
This paper considers the two-dimensional Cauchy problem of the full compressible Navier-Stokes equations with far-field vacuum in $\mathbb{R}^2$, where the viscosity and heat-conductivity coefficients depend on the absolute temperature $θ$ in the form of $θ^ν$ with $ν>0$. Due to the appearance of the vacuum, the momentum equation are both degenerate in the time evolution and spatial dissipation, which makes the study on the well-posedness challenged. By establishing some new singular-weighted (negative powers of the density $ρ$) estimates of the solution, we establish the local-in-time well-posedness of the regular solution with far-field vacuum in terms of $ρ$, the velocity $u$ and the entropy $S$.
