| 1st Abstract | I will review progress in the past few years on several young (less than a few thousand years old) supernova remnants within the Milky Way galaxy and the Magellanic Clouds. I will focus on objects like Tycho, Kepler, 3C 397, W49B, and Cas A. I will discuss not only what has been learned about particular remnants, but also what these remnants can tell us about their pre-supernova progenitor systems. I will also show areas in which newly launched and upcoming observatories, such as Hitomi (Astro-H) and JWST can contribute to the study of supernova remnants. |
