Detection of Gravitational waves opened a new path for cosmological study in a new approach. From the detection of gravitational waves signal by advanced LIGO, its research climbed the peak. After the collaboration of LIGO and Virgo, several observations get collected from different sources of binary systems like black holes, binary neutron stars even both binary black hole and neutron star. The rigorous detection of gravitational signals may provide an additional thrust in the study of complex binary systems, dark matter, dark energy, Hubble constant, etc. In this review paper, we went through multiple research manuscripts to analyze gravitational wave signals. Here we have reviewed the history and current situation of gravitational waves detection, and we explained the concept and process of detection. Also, we go through different parts of a detector and their working. Then multiple gravitational wave signals are focused, originated from various sources and then found correlation between them. From this, the contribution of gravitational waves in different fields like complex binary systems (black holes, neutron stars), dark matter, dark energy and Hubble Constant have been discussed in this manuscript.

Neutron Stars (NSs) are compact stellar objects that are stable solutions in General Relativity. Their internal structure is usually described using an equation of state that involves the presence of ordinary matter and its interactions. However there is now a large consensus that an elusive sector of matter in the universe, described as dark matter, remains as yet undiscovered. In such a case, NSs should contain both, baryonic and dark matter. We argue that depending on the nature of the dark matter and in certain circumstances, the two matter components would form a mixture inside NSs that could trigger further changes, some of them observable. The very existence of NSs constrains the nature and interactions of dark matter in the universe.

ABSTRACT The merging rate of double neutron stars (DNS) has a great impact on many astrophysical issues, including the interpretation of gravitational waves signals, of the short gamma-ray bursts (GRBs), and of the chemical properties of stars in galaxies. Such rate depends on the distribution of the delay times (DDT) of the merging events. In this paper, we derive a theoretical DDT of merging DNS following from the characteristics of the clock controlling their evolution. We show that the shape of the DDT is governed by a few key parameters, primarily the lower limit and the slope of the distribution of the separation of the DNS systems at birth. With a parametric approach, we investigate on the observational constraints on the DDT from the cosmic rate of short GRBs and the europium-to-iron ratio in Milky Way stars, taken as tracer of the products of the explosion. We find that the local rate of DNS merging requires that $\sim \! 1 {{\ \rm per\ cent}}$ of neutron stars progenitors live in binary systems which end their evolution as merging DNS within a Hubble time. The redshift distribution of short GRBs does not yet provide a strong constraint on the shape of the DDT, although the best-fitting models have a shallow DDT. The chemical pattern in Milky Way stars requires an additional source of europium besides the products from merging DNS, which weakens the related requirement on the DDT. At present both constraints can be matched with the same DDT for merging DNS.
