Fundamentals of the TianQin mission

Abstract

This talk adds more detail to the proposed TianQin mission \cite{TQ}. The response of TianQin to a binary source is an important problem for the experiment. Here we present the detail of the response function of an equal-arm Michelson interferometer to the gravitation waves of a binary source with a circular orbit.Comment: To be published in the proceedings of the "XIIth International Conference on Gravitation, Astrophysics and Cosmology", (Moscow, Russia, 2015), World Scientific, Singapor
