Caption: Figure 2.

3D view of the D6 SNR at 500 yr. The solid contours are isocontours of the mass density. Green colors in the inner layers correspond to shocked ejecta, while purple colors in the outer layers correspond to shocked ambient matter. In both panels the contours are clipped to one half of the SNR to see its interior. In the bottom panel, a volume rendering of the mass density of the shocked ejecta is included, over the entire surface of the SNR. A Sketchfab-based interactive version of the D6 SNR at 500 yr is available in the online Journal. This version shows isocontours of the ejecta tracer, in the shell of shocked matter. Layers of shocked ejecta are displayed in cool colors, from green at the RS to blue at the CD. Layers of shocked ISM are displayed in warm colors, from purple at the FS to red at the CD. The shocks, RS and FS, are rendered as semitransparent surfaces. This view highlights the morphology of the RTI fingers.

An interactive version of this figure is available in the online journal.
