Abstract

This paper summarizes the status and the recent measurements from the Pierre Auger Observatory. The energy spectrum is described and its features discussed. We report searches for anisotropy of cosmic ray arrival directions on large scales and through correlation with catalogues of celestial objects. We also present the search for anisotropies in the data without the use of astronomical catalogues. The first measurement of the proton-air cross section around 10181018 eV is discussed. Finally, the mass composition is addressed with measurements of the variation of the depth of shower maximum with energy and with the muon density at ground.
