Abstract Optical observations of young supernova remnants can give information on the abundance structure of the supernova ejecta, from which properties of the supernova explosion can be deduced. Young remnants also act as laboratories for fast shock wave phenomena. Observations of X-ray and optical line emission show that while a collisionless shock wave does form, it is far from thermal equilibrium. Some young remnants are promising candidates for particle acceleration in shock waves, while in other remnants a central compact object is probably responsible for particle acceleration.
