Title: The Pierre Auger Observatory - Status and first results

Abstract

The Pierre Auger Observatory, is designed to study cosmic rays at energies above 1019 eV. To achieve a uniform, full sky coverage, the Observatory is designed with two sites, one in the southern hemisphere, another one in the northern hemisphere. The southern observatory, currently under construction in Malarguee, Argentina, has started data taking with what amounts to about 1/4 of the full installation. We present the current status of the installation and first results from the dataset, collected from January 2004 to June 2005.
