Abstract
The Auger Engineering Radio Array (AERA) complements the Pierre Auger Observatory with 150 radio-antenna stations measuring in the frequency range from 30 to 80 MHz. With an instrumented area of 17 km, the array constitutes the largest cosmic-ray radio detector built to date, allowing us to do multi-hybrid measurements of cosmic rays in the energy range of 10 eV up to several 10 eV. We give an overview of AERA results and discuss the significance of radio detection for the validation of the energy scale of cosmic-ray detectors as well as for mass-composition measurements.
