Flux density of scattered light per unit volume as a function of three‐dimensional radius from the SN, measured for each echo in the F612 filter. Points are shaded in proportion to their signal‐to‐noise, which increases with darker gray scale. Lines are plotted as follows: ﹩j\propto r^{-1}﹩ (dashed), ﹩j\propto r^{-3}﹩ (dotted), ﹩j\propto r^{-4.5}﹩ (solid).
