Abstract : The gravitational wave (GW) community is looking forward to the launch of the much awaited space based interferometric detectors like eLISA and DECIGO. Once these waves are detected, the attention will turn to studying the GW sources and infer their characteristics, for example mass. The co-existence of the ground and space based telescopes may afford us considerable gain in the estimation of the source parameters. In this talk we'll discuss potential gain in estimating the parameters of a binary coalescence, by combining measurements of future ground and space based detectors. Using the post-Newtonian waveform for the inspiral of non-spinning neutron star-black hole binaries in circular orbits, we'll show how the estimates for the chirp mass and the symmetric mass ratio are improved by combining the data from different space-ground detector pairs. We'll also present results for the parameter characterizing deviations from GR within the parameterized post-Einsteinian framework.
