We have synthesized a set of SNR X-ray and coronal iron surface brightness profiles to determine observational constraints to help distinguish how the remnants’ ion-electron energy equilibration time-scales compare to their ionization time-scales. The profiles are based on Sedov-Taylor blast wave models under the two scenarios (1) equal Tion and Te or (2) Coulomb equilibration of Te and Tion. Resultant spectra were convolved with Einstein HRI and IPC sensitivity curves to simulate satellite observations of actual remnants.
