Scientific paper

I will survey results for X-ray emitting remnants that offer clues to core-collapse supernova explosions, placing special emphasis on Cassiopeia A, which is currently the best candidate for this purpose by virtue of its proximity, youthful age and extensive pre-supernova mass loss. Consideration will be given to the observed maps of the X-ray emitting ejecta, the estimated ejecta masses, and the measured dynamics of the ejecta, as well as implications for the synthesis of Fe during the explosion and the related question of the natal kick imparted to the neutron star.
