This paper presents the design and deployment of the Hydrogen Epoch of Reionization Array (HERA) phase II system. HERA is designed as a staged experiment targeting 21 cm emission measurements of the Epoch of Reionization. First results from the phase I array are published as of early 2022, and deployment of the phase II system is nearing completion. We describe the design of the phase II system and discuss progress on commissioning and future upgrades. As HERA is a designated Square Kilometer Array (SKA) pathfinder instrument, we also show a number of "case studies" that investigate systematics seen while commissioning the phase II system, which may be of use in the design and operation of future arrays. Common pathologies are likely to manifest in similar ways across instruments, and many of these sources of contamination can be mitigated once the source is identified.

When galaxies burst II. Implications of enhanced burstiness for the 21-cm Cosmic Dawn signal
Bursty star formation adds a shot-noise-like term to the Cosmic Dawn 21-cm power spectrum, boosting it by factors of a few at the Wouthuysen-Field trough and strongly on small scales at high redshift.

Limits on the 21 cm power spectrum at z=6.5-7.0 from MWA observations
MWA's 268-hour dataset yields 21 cm power spectrum upper limits as low as (30.2)^2 mK^2, which rule out cold reionization models and indicate a heated intergalactic medium at z=6.5-7.0.

Impacts and Statistical Mitigation of Missing Data on the 21cm Power Spectrum: A Case Study with the Hydrogen Epoch of Reionization Array
Partially flagged RFI gaps couple with nightly-varying instrument errors to leak foreground power into the 21cm EoR window; DPSS inpainting with a new covariance framework suppresses the leakage and quantifies its unc...
