Low-redshift IGM measured to be extremely hot (T0 ≈ 28,000 K) and nearly isothermal at z=0.1, with Gamma_HI lower than UV-background models, possibly due to 15 km/s turbulence.

Empirical three-parameter fit to f_esc(M_h,z) yields steep redshift evolution with population-averaged escape fraction rising from ~2% at z=5 to ~9% at z=12.
Simulations show recombination-weighted clumping is systematically lower than density-based measures, density-only prescriptions overpredict rates by 1.29-1.84 depending on redshift, and a new phase-space clumping factor isolates thermal and ionization effects at fixed density.
Small-scale power spectrum boosts alter ionization morphology enough that 21 cm power spectra and bubble sizes remain distinguishable from Lambda CDM under current constraints, offering SKA a probe for such deviations.
