Description

In this work the authors study the 2--10 keV spectra of eight relatively well known SNRs. These spectra were obtained with the medium energy experiment on-board the x-ray satellite EXOSAT. The ME experiment is well suited for this study since it provides a high sensitivity and a narrow field of view (45' FWHM). These spectra are considered in the context of a model in which the 2--10 keV continuum arises from shock heated interstellar material
