Abstract

X-ray observations of young supernova remnants (SNR) provide the most direct tool to study their evolution, their chemical composition, and their interaction with the interstellar medium. We will show that the remnants of type I and type II supernova explosions differ considerably in their physical properties and raise different questions. After a brief review of some X-ray observations of SNR and their modelling we will discuss the role played by non-equilibrium ionisation effects in the interpretation of X-ray spectra.
