We perform population synthesis simulations for Population III (Pop III) coalescing binary neutron stars (NS-NSs), neutron star - black hole binaries (NS-BHs), and binary black holes (BH-BHs) which merge within the age of the universe. We found that the typical mass of Pop III BH-BHs is $sim 30 rm{M}_{odot}$ so that the inspiral chirp signal of gravitational waves can be detected up to z=0.28 by KAGRA, Adv. LIGO, Adv. Virgo and GEO network. Our simulations suggest that the detection rate of the coalescing Pop III BH-BHs is $140 (68) cdot ({rm SFR}_{rm p}/10^{-2.5} rm{M}_{odot} {rm yr}^{-1} {rm Mpc}^{-3}) cdot {rm Err}_{rm sys} ~{rm events} ~{rm yr}^{-1}$ for the flat (Salpeter) initial mass function (IMF), respectively, where $rm SFR_p$ and $rm Err_{sys}$ are the peak value of the Pop III star formation rate and the possible systematic errors due to the assumptions in Pop III population synthesis, respectively. $rm Err_{sys}=1$ correspond to conventional parameters for Pop I stars. From the observation of the chirp signal of the coalescing Pop III BH-BHs, we can determine both the mass and the redshift of the binary for the cosmological parameters determined by Planck satellite. Our simulations suggest that the cumulative redshift distribution of the coalescing Pop III BH-BHs depends almost only on the cosmological parameters. We might be able to confirm the existence of Pop III massive stars of mass $sim 30~rm M_{odot}$ by the detections of gravitational waves if the merger rate of the Pop III massive BH-BHs dominates that of Pop I BH-BHs.

In the population synthesis simulations of Pop III stars, many BH (Black Hole)-BH binaries with merger time less than the age of the Universe $(tau_{rm H})$ are formed, while NS (Neutron Star)-BH binaries are not. The reason is that Pop III stars hav e no metal so that no mass loss is expected. Then, in the final supernova explosion to NS, much mass is lost so that the semi major axis becomes too large for Pop III NS-BH binaries to merge within $tau_{rm H}$. However it is almost established that the kick velocity of the order of $200-500{rm~ km~s^{-1}}$ exists for NS from the observation of the proper motion of the pulsar. Therefore, the semi major axis of the half of NS-BH binaries can be smaller than that of the previous argument for Pop III NS-BH binaries to decrease the merging time. We perform population synthesis Monte Carlo simulations of Pop III NS-BH binaries including the kick of NS and find that the event rate of Pop III NS-BH merger rate is $sim 1 {rm Gpc^{-3} yr^{-1}}$. This suggests that there is a good chance of the detection of Pop III NS-BH mergers in O2 of Advanced LIGO and Advanced Virgo from this autumn.
Focusing on the remnant black holes after merging binary black holes, we show that ringdown gravitational waves of Population III binary black holes mergers can be detected with the rate of $5.9-500~{rm events~yr^{-1}}~({rm SFR_p}/ (10^{-2.5}~M_odot~ {rm yr^{-1}~Mpc^{-3}})) cdot ({rm [f_b/(1+f_b)]/0.33})$ for various parameters and functions. This rate is estimated for the events with SNR$>8$ for the second generation gravitational wave detectors such as KAGRA. Here, ${rm SFR_p}$ and ${rm f_b}$ are the peak value of the Population III star formation rate and the fraction of binaries, respectively. When we consider only the events with SNR$>35$, the event rate becomes $0.046-4.21~{rm events~yr^{-1}}~({rm SFR_p}/ (10^{-2.5}~M_odot~{rm yr^{-1}~Mpc^{-3}})) cdot ({rm [f_b/(1+f_b)]/0.33})$. This suggest that for remnant black holes spin $q_f>0.95$ we have the event rate with SNR$>35$ less than $0.037~{rm events~yr^{-1}}~({rm SFR_p}/ (10^{-2.5}~M_odot~{rm yr^{-1}~Mpc^{-3}})) cdot ({rm [f_b/(1+f_b)]/0.33})$, while it is $3-30~{rm events~yr^{-1}}~({rm SFR_p}/ (10^{-2.5}~M_odot~{rm yr^{-1}~Mpc^{-3}})) cdot ({rm [f_b/(1+f_b)]/0.33})$ for the third generation detectors such as Einstein Telescope. If we detect many Population III binary black holes merger, it may be possible to constrain the Population III binary evolution paths not only by the mass distribution but also by the spin distribution.
Recent detection of gravitational wave from nine black hole merger events and one neutron star merger event by LIGO and VIRGO shed a new light in the field of astrophysics. On the other hand, in the past decade, a few super-Chandrasekhar white dwarf candidates have been inferred through the peak luminosity of the light-curves of a few peculiar type Ia supernovae, though there is no direct detection of these objects so far. Similarly, a number of neutron stars with mass $>2M_odot$ have also been observed. Continuous gravitational wave can be one of the alternate ways to detect these compact objects directly. It was already argued that magnetic field is one of the prominent physics to form super-Chandrasekhar white dwarfs and massive neutron stars. If such compact objects are rotating with certain angular frequency, then they can efficiently emit gravitational radiation, provided their magnetic field and rotation axes are not aligned, and these gravitational waves can be detected by some of the upcoming detectors, e.g. LISA, BBO, DECIGO, Einstein Telescope etc. This will certainly be a direct detection of rotating magnetized white dwarfs as well as massive neutron stars.
Light bosons, proposed as a possible solution to various problems in fundamental physics and cosmology, include a broad class of candidates for beyond the Standard Model physics, such as dilatons and moduli, wave dark matter and axion-like particles. If light bosons exist in nature, they will spontaneously form clouds by extracting rotational energy from rotating massive black holes through superradiance, a classical wave amplification process that has been studied for decades. The superradiant growth of the cloud sets the geometry of the final black hole, and the black hole geometry determines the shape of the cloud. Hence, both the black hole geometry and the cloud encode information about the light boson. For this reason, measurements of the gravitational field of the black hole/cloud system (as encoded in gravitational waves) are over-determined. We show that a single gravitational wave measurement can be used to verify the existence of light bosons by model selection, rule out alternative explanations for the signal, and measure the boson mass. Such measurements can be done generically for bosons in the mass range $[10^{-16.5},10^{-14}]$ eV using LISA observations of extreme mass-ratio inspirals.
After the prediction of many sub- and super-Chandrasekhar (at least a dozen for the latter) limiting mass white dwarfs, hence apparently peculiar class of white dwarfs, from the observations of luminosity of type Ia supernovae, researchers have propo sed various models to explain these two classes of white dwarfs separately. We earlier showed that these two peculiar classes of white dwarfs, along with the regular white dwarfs, can be explained by a single form of the f(R) gravity, whose effect is significant only in the high-density regime, and it almost vanishes in the low-density regime. However, since there is no direct detection of such white dwarfs, it is difficult to single out one specific theory from the zoo of modified theories of gravity. We discuss the possibility of direct detection of such white dwarfs in gravitational wave astronomy. It is well-known that in f(R) gravity, more than two polarization modes are present. We estimate the amplitudes of all the relevant modes for the peculiar as well as the regular white dwarfs. We further discuss the possibility of their detections through future-based gravitational wave detectors, such as LISA, ALIA, DECIGO, BBO, or Einstein Telescope, and thereby put constraints or rule out various modified theories of gravity. This exploration links the theory with possible observations through gravitational wave in f(R) gravity.
