Subject: SUPERNOVA REMNANTS AND GALACTIC DIFFUSE EMISSION            
  Title: A SMALL SURVEY TOWARDS COMPACT GALACTIC SUPERNOVA REMNANTS                      


Abstract:
 The canonical model of neutron star birth in Type II \& Ib supernovae, receives at
 best modest observational support from the list of radio pulsars associated with
 supernova remnants (SNR). Although the ($\sim 20$) positive associations do uphold
 the scenario, one is left wondering as to why there are so few. An indirect but
 effective means of inferring pulsars inside remnants is by observations of their
 wind nebulae (plerions). However Galactic studies of SNR indicate a clear deficit of
 plerions. This could be an artifact of the numerous selection effects working
 against the discovery of these objects and we exemplify this point with our recent ASCA SNR observations.......
