Scientific paper

We study the relation between radio halos, the energy input by supernovae in the disk and the galaxy mass. We find that both the energy input by supernovae as well as the galaxy mass are important parameters for understanding the formation of radio halos. Galaxies with a high energy input by supernovae per star forming area and a low galaxy mass generally possess radio halos whereas galaxies with the opposite characteristics do not. Furthermore, there is a tentative correlation between the observed scale height and the expected height in a simple gravitational approximation.
