Supernova remnants,planetary nebulae and superbubbles: Prospects for new XMM‐Newton observations

Important results achieved over the last years on supernova remnants, planetary nebulae and superbubbles are briefly reviewed in the context of X‐ray observations. I intend to review the important open scientific questions in these fields, and the specific contributions that can be made by XMM‐Newton. (© 2008 WILEY‐VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA, Weinheim)
