Detecting a Binary Black Hole in Spiral

At the moment, if you were to take a look at where our detectors are most sensitive to in the frequency space, you'll see that our real sweet spot is somewhere around like 100 to 200 Hertz. If we're sampling at 16 kilohertz, that is a lot of resolution that we don't necessarily need when we're interested in such a small band. And of course, even if you're at 100 to 200, there's still harmonics and there's other resonant frequencies,. But you're literally able to chop off some of those higher frequencies, reduce the sampling rate, and then you can deal with a much smaller data set.
