摘要：
在毫赫兹频段，随机引力波背景可由天体物理源和宇宙学源共同构成，两类源产生的背景都可能具有各向异性。对这些各向异性进行数值刻画，对于揭示其起源的内在属性至关重要。本研究首次对TianQin（天琴）对随机背景多极矩的约束能力开展了理论分析。首先，我们发现经过1年运行，对于信噪比为16的背景，TianQin能够恢复最高至$l=4$的多极矩。我们还识别出随机背景天图的一个独特特征：沿TianQin固定轨道平面呈镜像对称。第三，我们借助协方差矩阵的奇异性判据（即条件数），解释了TianQin与LISA在各向异性恢复能力上的差异。最后，我们发现由于不同的数据通道组合对应不同的奇异性，某些组合可能在随机背景成图方面具有优势。我们认为本研究的发现可为未来的随机背景分析流程提供重要参考，也可为设计旨在破译随机背景各向异性的更优引力波探测器提供指导。
英文摘要：
In the milli-Hertz frequency band, stochastic gravitational-wave background can be composed of both astronomical and cosmological sources, both can be anisotropic. Numerically depicting these anisotropies can be critical in revealing the underlying properties of their origins. For the first time, we perform a theoretical analysis of the constraining ability of TianQin on multiple moments of the stochastic background. First, we find that with a one-year operation, for a background with a signal-to-noise ratio of 16, TianQin can recover the multiple moments up to $l=4$. We also identified a unique feature of the stochastic background sky map, which is the mirror symmetry along the fixed orbital plane of TianQin. Thirdly, we explain the difference in anisotropy recovering ability between TianQin and LISA, by employing the criteria of the singularity of the covariance matrix (which is the condition number). Finally, we find that since the different data channel combinations correspond to different singularities, certain combinations might have an advantage in stochastic background map-making. We believe that the findings of this work can provide an important reference to future stochastic background analysis pipelines. It can also serve as a guideline for designing better gravitational-wave detectors aiming to decipher anisotropies in the stochastic background.
