In this work we study the 2 – 10 keV spectra of eight relatively well known SNRs. These spectra were obtained with the medium energy experiment on-board the X-ray satellite EXOSAT. Details of the EXOSAT mission can be found in Taylor et al 1981 and the ME experiment is described in Turner, Smith and Zimmerman 1981. The ME experiment is well suited for this study since it provides a high sensitivity and a narrow field of view (45 ' FWHM). These spectra are considered in the context of a model in which the 2–10 keV continuum arises from shock heated interstellar material.
