abstract = {We show, for the first time, radio measurements of the depth of shower maximum (Xmax) of air showers
induced by cosmic rays that are compared to measurements of the established fluorescence method at the
same location. Using measurements at the Pierre Auger Observatory we show full compatibility between
our radio and the previously published fluorescence dataset, and between a subset of air showers observed
simultaneously with both radio and fluorescence techniques, a measurement setup unique to the Pierre
Auger Observatory. Furthermore, we show radio Xmax resolution as a function of energy and demonstrate
the ability to make competitive high-resolution Xmax measurements with even a sparse radio array. With
this, we show that the radio technique is capable of cosmic-ray mass composition studies, both at Auger
and at other experiments.},
