Abstract

The measurement of gravitational waves with Laser interferometers is a promising new frontier of fundamental research. However, the instruments induce distortions in the gravitational waves. In this talk I will describe these effects, how the laser interferometers software try to correct for them, and how the data analysis algorithms attach errors on the estimated physical parameters. The explicit examples come from GWs from Core collapse Supernovae.
