Abstract
We review much of the recent radio and X-ray observational work relevant to the questions of the progenitor populations and explosion products of supernovae. Several illustrative examples are given of how X-ray data on shell-type supernova remants, coupled with analytic and numerical hydrodynamic models, can constrain the mass and evolutionary state of the stellar precursor. We go on to examine the population of Crab-like remnants, pointing out the restrictions imposed on explosion models by the statistics of collapsed remnant cores.
