TianQin is a proposed geocentric space-based gravitational wave observatory mission, which requires time-delay interferometry (TDI) to cancel laser frequency noise. With high demands for precision, solar-wind plasma environment at $\sim…
The paper is a sequel to our previous work (Zhang et al. Phys. Rev. D 103, 062001 (2021)). For proposed geocentric space-based gravitational wave detectors such as TianQin, gLISA, and GADFLI, the gravity-field disturbances, i.e., the so…
Gravitational wave emission is expected to arise from a variety of astrophysical phenomena. A new generation of detectors with sensitivity consistent with expectation from such sources is being developed. The Laser Interferometer…

Within this decade gravitational wave detection will open a new observational window on the Universe. Advanced ground based interferometers covering the kHz frequency range will be online by 2016, and it is foreseeable the announcement of a…
TianQin is a proposed space-based gravitational-wave observatory mission that critically relies on the stability of an equilateral-triangle constellation. Comprising three satellites in high Earth orbits of a $ 10^5 $ km radius, this…
The determination of the spatial geometry of the universe plays an important role in modern cosmology. Any deviation from the cosmic curvature $\Omega_K=0$ would have a profound impact on the primordial inflation paradigm and fundamental…
Significant progress has been made in recent years on the development of gravitational wave detectors. Sources such as coalescing compact binary systems, neutron stars in low-mass X-ray binaries, stellar collapses and pulsars are all…

In this paper, we carry out a systematic study of the prospect of testing general relativity with the inspiral signals of black hole binaries that could be detected with TianQin. The study is based on the parameterized post-Einsteinian…
The space mission LISA (Laser Interferometer Space Antenna), scheduled for launch in 2035, aims to detect gravitational wave (GW) signals in the milli-Hz band. In the context of ESA Voyage 2050 Call for new mission concepts, other frequency…
While general relativity predicts only two tensor modes for gravitational wave polarization, general metric theories of gravity allows up to four additional modes, including two vector and two scalar modes. Observing the polarization modes…
Gravitational wave (GW) detection in space is aimed at low frequency band (100 nHz - 100 mHz) and middle frequency band (100 mHz - 10 Hz). The science goals are the detection of GWs from (i) Supermassive Black Holes; (ii) Extreme-Mass-Ratio…
This work introduces a geometrical method for analyzing transient gravitational waves recorded at interferometric observatories. This approach is intended to aid in assessing the performance and sensitivity of next-generation detector…
The microhertz frequency band of gravitational waves probes the merger of supermassive black holes as well as many other gravitational wave phenomena. However, space-interferometry methods that use test masses would require further…
