The opening of the gravitational wave window has significantly enhanced our capacity to explore the Universe's most extreme and dynamic sector. In the mHz frequency range, a diverse range of compact objects, from the most massive black holes at the farthest reaches of the Universe to the lightest white dwarfs in our cosmic backyard, generate a complex and dynamic symphony of gravitational wave signals. Once recorded by gravitational wave detectors, these unique fingerprints have the potential to decipher the birth and growth of cosmic structures over a wide range of scales, from stellar binaries and stellar clusters to galaxies and large-scale structures. The TianQin space-borne gravitational wave mission is scheduled for launch in the 2030s, with an operational lifespan of five years. It will facilitate pivotal insights into the history of our Universe. This document presents a concise overview of the detectable sources of TianQin, outlining their characteristics, the challenges they present, and the expected impact of the TianQin observatory on our understanding of them.
引力波窗口的开启显著增强了我们探索宇宙中最极端和动态区域的能力。在毫赫兹频率范围内，从宇宙最远处质量最大的黑洞到我们宇宙后院最轻的白矮星，各种各样的致密天体产生了复杂而动态的引力波信号交响曲。一旦被引力波探测器记录下来，这些独特的指纹有可能解读从恒星双星和星团到星系及大尺度结构等广泛尺度上宇宙结构的诞生和演化。天琴空间引力波探测计划定于2030年代发射，运行寿命为五年。它将有助于对我们宇宙的历史获得关键见解。本文简要概述了天琴可探测的源，概述了它们的特征、所带来的挑战以及天琴天文台对我们理解这些源的预期影响。
