Individual positions relative to final explosion center. The black cross shows the favored final position α=5h35m27s9884(30),δ=6916111134(136)$\[\alpha=5^{\mathrm{h}} 35^{\mathrm{m}} 27^{\mathrm{s}}_\cdot 9884(30), \delta=-69^{\circ} 16^{\prime} 11^{\prime \prime}_\cdot 1134(136)\]$ (ICRS J2016). The black circle indicates the total uncertainty, defined as the offset between the mean early ejecta and mean diffuse ring positions. The upside-down purple triangle marks the average early ejecta position; the red “×” marker shows the average hot spot ellipse position; the gray diamond indicates the average diffuse ring position. Their corresponding ellipses represent 68.3% confidence regions. The right orange triangle shows the position from Alp et al. (2018), corrected from J2015 (5h35m27s9875(11),6916111070(40)$\[5^{\mathrm{h}} 35^{\mathrm{m}} 27^{\mathrm{s}}_\cdot9875(11),-69^{\circ} 16^{\prime} 11^{\prime \prime}_\cdot 1070(40)\]$) to J2016 (5h35m279878,6916111066$\[5^{\mathrm{h}} 35^{\mathrm{m}} 27^{\prime \prime}_\cdot 9878,-69^{\circ} 16^{\prime} 11^{\prime \prime}_\cdot 1066\]$) using the estimated proper motion of SN 1987A.
