We explore the prospects of detecting of Galactic double white dwarf (DWD) binaries with the space-based gravitational wave (GW) observatory TianQin. In this work, we analyze both a sample of currently known DWDs and a realistic synthetic population of DWDs to assess the number of guaranteed detections and the full capacity of the mission. We find that TianQin can detect 12 out of $sim100$ known DWDs; GW signals of these binaries can be modeled in detail ahead of the mission launch, and therefore they can be used as verification sources. Besides we estimate that TianQin has potential to detect as many as $10^4$ DWDs in the Milky Way. TianQin is expected to measure their orbital periods and amplitudes with accuracies of $sim10^{-7}$ and $sim0.2$, respectively, and to localize on the sky a large fraction (39%) of the detected population to better than 1 deg$^2$. We conclude that TianQin has the potential to significantly advance our knowledge on Galactic DWDs by increasing the sample up to 2 orders of magnitude, and will allow their multi-messenger studies in combination with electromagnetic telescopes. We also test the possibilities of different configurations of TianQin: (1) the same mission with a different orientation, (2) two perpendicular constellations combined into a network, and (3) the combination of the network with the ESA-led Laser Interferometer Space Antenna. We find that the network of detectors boosts the accuracy on the measurement of source parameters by 1-2 orders of magnitude, with the improvement on sky localization being the most significant.

We study the prospect of using TianQin to detect stellar-mass binary black holes (SBBHs). We estimate the expected detection number as well as the precision of parameter estimation on SBBH inspirals, using five different population models. We note Ti
anQin can possibly detect a few SBBH inspirals with signal to noise ratios greater than 12; lowering the threshold and combining multiple detectors can both boost the detection number. The source parameters can be recovered with good precision for most events above the detection threshold. For example, the precision of the merger time most likely occurs near 1s, making it possible to guide the detection of the ground-based detectors, the precision of the eccentricity $e_0$ most likely occurs near $10^{-4}$, making it possible to distinguish the formation channels, and the precision of the mass parameter is better than $10^{-6}$ in general and most likely occurs near $10^{-7}$. We note, in particular, that for a typical merger event, the error volume is likely to be small enough to contain only the host galaxy, which could greatly help in the study of gravitational wave cosmology and relevant studies through the multimessenger observation.
In this work, we study the prospect of detecting the stochastic gravitational-wave background with the TianQin observatory. We consider both astrophysical-origin and cosmological-origin sources, including stellar-mass binary black holes, binary neutr
on stars, Galactic white dwarves, inflation, first order phase transition, and cosmic defects. For the detector configurations, we considered TianQin, TianQin I+II and TianQin + LISA. We studied the detectability of stochastic gravitational-wave backgrounds with the assumed methods of both cross-correlation and null channel, and present the corresponding power-law integrated sensitivity curves. We introduce the definition of the joint foreground with a network of detectors. With the joint foreground, the number of resolved double white dwarves in the Galaxy will be increased by 5% $sim$ 22% compared with simple combination of individual detectors. The astrophysical background from the binary black holes and the binary neutron stars under the theoretical models are predicted to be detectable with signal-to-noise ratio of around 10 after five years operation. As for the cosmological sources, their models are highly uncertain, and we only roughly estimate the detection capability under certain cases.
Constituted with a massive black hole and a stellar mass compact object, Extreme Mass Ratio Inspiral (EMRI) events hold unique opportunity for the study of massive black holes, such as by measuring and checking the relations among the mass, spin and
quadrupole moment of a massive black hole, putting the no-hair theorem to test. TianQin is a planned space-based gravitational wave observatory and EMRI is one of its main types of sources. It is important to estimate the capacity of TianQin on testing the no-hair theorem with EMRIs. In this work, we use the analytic kludge waveform with quadrupole moment corrections and study how the quadrupole moment can be constrained with TianQin. We find that TianQin can measure the dimensionless quadrupole moment parameter with accuracy to the level of $10^{-5}$ under suitable scenarios. The choice of the waveform cutoff is found to have significant effect on the result: if the Schwarzschild cutoff is used, the accuracy depends strongly on the mass of the massive black hole, while the spin has negligible impact; if the Kerr cutoff is used, however, the dependence on the spin is more significant. We have also analyzed the cases when TianQin is observing simultaneously with other detectors such as LISA.
We explore the long-term evolution of mass-transferring white dwarf binaries undergoing both direct-impact and disk accretion and explore implications of such systems to gravitational wave astronomy. We cover a broad range of initial component masses
and show that these systems, the majority of which lie within the LISA sensitivity range, exhibit prominent negative orbital frequency evolution (chirp) for a significant fraction of their lifetimes. Using a galactic population synthesis, we predict ~$2700$ double white dwarfs will be observable by LISA with negative chirps less than $-0.1 yr^{-2}$. We also show that detections of mass-transferring double white dwarf systems by LISA may provide astronomers with unique ways of probing the physics governing close compact object binaries.
Galactic binaries with orbital periods less than $approx$1 hr are strong gravitational wave sources in the mHz regime, ideal for the Laser Interferometer Space Antenna (LISA). In fact, theory predicts that emph{LISA} will resolve tens of thousands of
Galactic binaries individually with a large fraction being bright enough for electromagnetic observations. This opens up a new window where we can study a statistical sample of compact Galactic binaries in both, the electromagnetic as well the gravitational wavebands. Using multi-messenger observations we can measure tidal effects in detached double WD systems, which strongly impact the outcome of WD mergers. For accreting WDs as well as NS binaries, multi-messenger observations give us the possibility to study the angular momentum transport due to mass transfer. In this white paper we present an overview of the opportunities for research on Galactic binaries using multi-messenger observations and summarize some recommendations for the 2020 time-frame.
