"Gravitational Waves from Binary Neutron Stars
This page contains an interactive applet, which will only be run if your browser supports the Java programming language. The applet is about 11 K, so it will take some time to load.
In this model, two 1.4 solar-mass neutron stars (not drawn to scale) are in a perfectly circular orbit, viewed here at an oblique angle. The angle between the orbital plane and the line of sight can be changed with the pop-up menu near the top right-hand corner of the diagram. By adjusting the angle with the orbital plane, you can shift between sampling waves with purely linear polarisation (at 0 degrees) to purely circular polarisation (at 90 degrees)."
