Description

Einstein observations of supernova remnants have been review and analyzed. Images of 44 galactic remnants have been reprocessed, merged when necessary, and collected. Some bright remnants were viewed with both moderate and high resolution instruments (IPC with 1 ft. resolution and HRI with 4 in. resolution). Some IPC images of nearby remnants have been separated into 2 energy bands, 0.2-0.6 keV and 0.6-4.5 keV; whereas most images cover the band 0.2-4.5 keV. These images are illustrated in this paper
