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.

Second-epoch JWST/MIRI-MRS mid-IR spectra of SN 1987A show little overall dust evolution but inner equatorial ring fading, rapid ejecta line changes, some ER line fading, first mid-IR H2 from ejecta, and evidence that dense Fe-rich ejecta has reached the reverse shock.
