| contents | We present a novel methodology to estimate the ratio of kinetic to gravitational potential energy in core-collapse supernova progenitors and to assess the equation of state (EOS) using gravitational-wave signals from the core-bounce phase of rapidly rotating stars in real interferometric data. We extend a previous phenomenological model by introducing an additional parameter that captures the signal timescale. The agreement between our template and numerical waveform databases is evaluated through fitting factors and Bayesian model comparison, also assessing consistency across datasets. The improved model increases the median fitting factor from 88.88% to 90.83%. Parameter estimation is performed via Markov Chain Monte Carlo using real O3aL1 noise. For 452 simulated signals, the rotational parameter $β$ is recovered with a median relative error of 11.93% (95th percentile: 38.41%) and an uncertainty of $σ_β= 1.083 \times 10^{-3}$ at 10 kpc, improving over previous matched-filtering results. We further analyze the impact of prior choices and noise properties, finding that real interferometric noise introduces biases up to 11.9%, while optimized priors can reduce them to 0.6%. |
