Scientific paper

X-ray observations of Crab Nebula-like supernova remnants are summarized. Five remnants are found to contain internal neutron stars - four isolated and one in a binary system. Another five remnants have central unresolved X-ray sources which are probably neutron stars. Thus approximately 10 remnants are now known to have their origin in gravitational collapse. Another 22 remnants show some Crab-like properties, but the existence of a central compact object or pulsar is doubtful or unconfirmed. The four fast isolated pulsars in SNR are also compared with five X-ray detected radio pulsars.
