Ejecta properties computed by heracles for model r1w6 (strong wind mass loss rate of 10^-2 M_⊙ yr^-1) at 0.5, 2, and 8 d after the start of the heracles simulation. Compared to model r1w1, the ejecta is more decelerated by the dense wind (the maximum ejecta velocity levels off at ~7000 km s^-1 compared to 11 000 km s^-1), more radiation energy gets trapped within the optically thick wind leading to a delayed but longer lived shock breakout signal and a much more massive cold-dense-shell forms (containing the swept up wind material). All these properties produce unambiguous radiative signatures.
