Slices through the center of the WD, zoomed into the convective core region. From left to right, we have the FN1, FN2, and NB1 simulations. The inner white circle indicates the Urca shell. The outer two circles approximately mark the edge of the convection zones for the two simulations, 545 and 745 km, respectively.
