(a) Proper-motion angle (θμ) vs. P.A. angle of QSFs (θ). The solid line indicates θμ= θ. (b) The difference θμ − θ vs. the projected distance of QSFs from the explosion center. The dotted lines indicate θμ − θ  = ​​​​±30°. Blue symbols indicate Group 1 QSFs, while magenta symbols represent Group 2 QSFs. The error bar with an arrowhead indicates continuation beyond the plotted range for a data point with an uncertainty exceeding the axis limits.
