Caption: Figure 6.

Simulated source-plane magnification maps for random realizations of stellar microlenses for SN Refsdal. Here we show simulations we have generated using the κ and γ values listed in Table 6 from the GLAFIC v3 model (Oguri 2010; Kawamata et al. 2016). The red circle shows the size of a photosphere after 10 days of expansion with a velocity of 6000 km s−1. All panels (except for the zoomed-in panel) are 36 mas (0.31 pc) on a side. The Einstein radius of a solar-mass star at the lens’s redshift is 0.015 pc.
