Tracing the Propagation of Shocks in the Equatorial Ring of SN 1987A over Decades with the Hubble Space Telescope

The nearby SN 1987A offers a unique opportunity to investigate the complex shock interaction between the ejecta and circumstellar medium. We track the evolution of the optical hot spots within the equatorial ring (ER) by analyzing 33 Hubble Space Telescope imaging observations between 1994 and 2022....
