| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Sep. 14 in 2015, the first direct detection of gravitational waves was done by the detectors in USA. The source of the gravitational waves was the merger of the massive black hole binary of mass about 30 solar mass. This was unexpected source for many researchers in this field. However this innovative area predicted in 2014 the existence of such black hole binary formed from the zero metal first stars in the Universe and the possible detections in 2015. In the paper announced this discovery, our prediction was written as the astonishing agreement between the observed mass and the predicted one. Similar source was observed Jan. 4th in 2017 so that our prediction would be confirmed in future. This innovative area performed the follow-up observations by X-ray, optical radiation, neutrino and data analysis simultaneously with the gravitational wave observations.
