Abstract

The ALLEGRO gravitational wave detector has been in nearly continuous operation for the past four years with a duty cycle of over 90%. The data is continuously filtered for bursts and has a noise level near 12 mK, or 8 × 10-22 strain/Hz. An initial data exchange under the IGEC has been completed.
