Caption: Figure 5.

Coadded 5 × 5 W2-band image (between 2009 and 2022) of the region surrounding Cas A taken from unwise, overlaid with a map of the echo positions (red dots) and all other sources (blue dots) identified in our search. The black square inset shows a zoom-in of the region with a particularly high spatial density complex of echo features. The position of Cas A is indicated by the yellow crosshair, and the image spatial scale and orientation are indicated.
