Pulsar Wind Nebulae (PWNe) are among the best objects where high energy relativistic
astrophysics, can be investigated. They are close, well resolved in our observation,
and the knowledge derived in their study has a strong impact in many other fields,
from AGNs to GRBs. They also behave as a probe of the interior of the surrounding
SNR, and their dynamical evolution, can be used to...

Young and relatively nearby Galactic SNRs offer the possibility of relatively
high-resolution investigations of SN ejecta and SNR/CSM interactions. I will present
a brief overview of some recent X-ray, optical, and IR results on core-collapse SNRs.
My talk will concentrate on work on some on young Galactic collapse SNRs, with an
emphasis on the Cas A remnant which has been the focus of...

The young remnants of supernovae of thermonuclear origin are often surrounded by fast
(~1000 km/s) shocks which are spatially coincident with strong hydrogen emission
lines. Typically observed in H-alpha, these two-component lines are direct probes of
the physical conditions in the pre- and post-shock gas. In this talk, I begin with a
brief review of Balmer-dominated shocks. I will...
