Description
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^2, 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 ~10^17 eV up to several 10^18 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.
