This talk will focus recent developments in our understanding of heavy fermion (HF) superconductors and the role that positive muon spin relaxation ({mu}SR) studies have played in helping to elucidate their properties. As illustrations two systems will be discussed: (1) UPd{sub 2}Al{sub 3}, one of the most recently discovered HF superconductors, which also displays coexisting magnetic order and (2) UBe{sub 3} doped with small quantities Of Th substituted for U, which displays an interplay between its superconducting and magnetic ground states, leading to multiple superconducting states.
