在2002年8月和9月的17天里，LIGO和GEO干涉仪引力波探测器同时运行，产生了第一批用于科学分析的数据。尽管探测器的灵敏度还远未达到设计水平，但这些数据可以用来对入射到地球上的引力波通量设定比以前的直接测量更好的上限。本文详细介绍了仪器和数据，作为对基于第一批数据的分析论文的补充。
For 17 days in August and September 2002, the LIGO and GEO interferometer gravitational wave detectors were operated in coincidence to produce their first data for scientific analysis. Although the detectors were still far from their design sensitivity levels, the data can be used to place better upper limits on the flux of gravitational waves incident on the earth than previous direct measurements. This paper describes the instruments and the data in some detail, as a companion to analysis papers based on the first data.
