JWST data reconstructs the inner ejecta of SNR 0540-69.3 as two similar-sized fragmented lobes, implying a ~300 km/s pulsar kick under symmetry assumption and confirming low-velocity hydrogen mixing in a Type II explosion.

Exploring the central region of SNR 0540-69.3 with JWST I: 3D morphology
JWST data reconstructs the inner ejecta of SNR 0540-69.3 as two similar-sized fragmented lobes, implying a ~300 km/s pulsar kick under symmetry assumption and confirming low-velocity hydrogen mixing in a Type II explosion.
