IR temperature surface plot and image (inset) for a DAAFN pellet tested at 21.4 m/s (test 91), showing three ignition sites approaching 500 °C. The four-component “star” pattern of light is caused by an optical element (50/50 beam splitter) and does not portray the explosive response, so the center peak is the only “real” hotspot.
