Nice write up Dennis, that's the way I understand pulsars and our work here too

Close. Actually the first number is part of the definition of the data segment you are lookig into:
H1_0510.9 means Hanford data, instrument 1 (there are two in Hanford), frequency band starting at 0510.9 Hz.
The second number ist the more precise frequency you are actually loking for, in this case 511.4 Hz. The bandwith a single Result looks into is currently set to about 0.1 Hz. I didn't make up the data sets, but I think the 0.1 in the name is meant to reflect this (there are some 0.1 values around...).

Thank you, thank you, thank you!

With a bandwidth of only about 0.1 Hz, I can see now why you need so many computers to work on this.
