Abstract
The first run of the ultracryogenic resonant bar detector AURIGA is in progress. Diagnostics on the cryogenics, the data acquisition system and on the noise characteristics have been performed, with results in accord with the design. The bar reached 140 mK. In tests down to 2 K the detector noise was very close to `Brownian'.Keywords
