abstract
This paper presents the spherically-averaged 21 cm power spectrum derived from Epoch of Reionization (EoR) observations conducted with the Murchison Widefield Array (MWA). The analysis uses EoR0-field data, centered at (RA$=0h$, DEC$=-27^{\circ}$), collected between 2013 and 2023. Building on the improved methodology described in Trott et al. 2020, we incorporate additional data quality control techniques introduced in Nunhokee et al. 2024. We report the lowest power level limits on the EoR power spectrum at redshifts $z=6.5$, $z=6.8$, and $z=7.0$. These power levels, measured in the East-West polarization, are $(30.2)^2$ mK$^2$ at $k=0.18\, h$ Mpc$^{-1}$, $(31.2)^2$ mK$^2$ at $k=0.18\, h$ Mpc$^{-1}$ and $(39.1)^2$ mK$^2$ at $k=0.21\, h$ Mpc$^{-1}$ respectively. The total integration time amounts to 268 hours. These results represent the deepest upper limits achieved by the MWA to date and provide the first evidence of heated intergalactic medium (IGM) at redshifts $z=6.5$ to $7.0$.

Probing the ionizing photon output of galaxies near cosmic dawn with the patchy kSZ effect
In calibrated reionization simulations, the patchy kSZ power at ell~3000 correlates strongly with the start of reionization once the end is fixed by Lyman-alpha forest data, yielding model-dependent limits on early io...

Improved upper limits on the 21-cm signal power spectrum at $z=17.0$ and $z=20.3$ from an optimal field observed with NenuFAR
NenuFAR observations of the NT04 field set the deepest 21-cm power spectrum upper limits to date at z=20.3 and z=17.0, with the z=20.3 limit more than an order of magnitude deeper than any previous Cosmic Dawn limit.

Cosmology with HI Intensity Mapping
SKAO HI intensity mapping forecasts yield competitive LambdaCDM constraints (e.g. H0 to ~0.3 km/s/Mpc optimistic) via power spectrum, BAO, bispectrum and stacking, complementary to CMB and optical surveys.
