Studies of Galactic supernova remnants (SNRs) are typically impeded by such
factors as extensive absorption along Galactic lines of sight and
significant uncertainties in the distances to these sources. To help
address these known shortcomings and to explore several issues related to
SNR evolution (such as SNR-interstellar medium interactions and cosmic-ray
acceleration), we have analyzed original and archived Chandra observations
of a sample of nearby face-on spiral galaxies to search for X-ray
counterparts to known SNRs. Results of this search will be
presented, including discussions of wavelength-dependent selection effects
in searches for SNRs and the possible detection of several X-ray binary/SNR
systems in these galaxies.
