Abstract
Observations have been made with the University of Durham Mark 6 telescope of a number of southern hemisphere supernova remnants and young pulsars (Ve la pulsar, PSR B1055-52, PSR J1105-6107, PSR 50537-6910, and PSR B0540-69). No very high energy gamma-ray emission, either steady or pulsed, has been detected from these objects. The implications of these results for theories of high-energy gamma-ray production in plerions and young pulsars are disc ussed.
