Solar radio emission surveillance by the Trieste Solar Radio System 2.0

In this paper we describe the Trieste Solar Radio System 2.0 (TSRS 2.0), a project for a new facility dedicated to the continuous surveillance of the solar radio emission in the range 1-19 GHz. It is presently under development at the INAF Astronomical Observatory of Trieste and will be installed at the Basovizza Observing Station. TSRS 2.0 will be constituted by a three-meter parabolic antenna with an LHCP and RHCP large-bandwidth feeder, a receiver with high resolution digitizer, a high dynamic detector, a fully-sky coverage, alt-az motorized mount and an imaging and control software with tracking options. In this paper we focus on the TSRS main operational features, its science goals, observation modes and data products. Thanks to its peculiar and unique operational capabilities, TSRS will be an interesting diagnostic tool and will play a fundamental role in the Solar Radio Weather framework, contributing to detection, monitoring, newcasting, forecasting, modelling and scientific investigation of radio solar emission and its effects on ground based infrastructures via radio interferences.
