The Chandra View of Supernovae and Supernova Remnants

I will review the most salient observations of Supernovae and Supernova Remnants made by Chandra during the 20 years that have elapsed since its launch. I will touch briefly on very diverse topics, including neutron stars, pulsar wind nebulae, particle acceleration in shocks, X-ray searches for prompt supernova emission, and supernova progenitor studies from supernova remnant observations. I will put special emphasis on the main results obtained for both core collapse and Type Ia supernova progenitors thanks to the unique capabilities of Chandra, and I will outline the key contributions that the mission can make to this field of research in the near future.
