Abstract
Observations of supernova remnants with the Einstein Observatory were discussed by Drs. Fabbiano and S. Holt. Holt (1979) concentrated on line emission, while Fabbiano did so on continuum radiation both from the extended nebula regions and from point sources. She reported on observations of possible point sources in four supernova remnants. In this paper, we report on the results of the attempts to observe such point sources in five more supernova remnants, as well as nine radio pulsars, which have already been made with the Einstein Observatory. We discuss what could come out of careful point source investigations of the Crab pulsar and the Vela pulsar with the Einstein Observatory and other X-ray space programs scheduled for the near future (AXAF, etc.). Emphasis is placed on the possible theoretical implication of the outcome of such investigations.
