Caption: Figure 4.

Distance–time maps for slits S1–S6. (a) S1 map at 131 Å captures the center of the X-structure that appears here as the horizontal stripe at ∼32″ and the underlying central arcade that appears as the oblique stripe. (b)–(c) S2–S3 maps at 171 Å for the two large-scale high-lying arcades. Each pair of the vertical white and red arrows indicates a time window, during which temporally correlated loop motions are observed. (d) S4 map at 131 Å for the brightening loops in the northern sidelobe. (e) S5 map at 94 Å for sidelobes that first move aside then return at a fast speed. The orange arrow points to the bright core inside the ejecta. (f) S6 map at 131 Å for retreating hot loops above the restored structure. Dashed lines represent linear fits to estimate velocities, with errors given by a ∼4 pixel (1.74 Mm) distance uncertainty.
