Scientific paper

We have conducted 3.6 cm radio continuum observations of the nearby starburst galaxy NGC 253 with the Effelsberg 100-m telescope. The polarized emission reveals a prominent radio halo with the magnetic field mainly aligned parallel to the galactic disk. We detected several radio spurs emerging from the disk into the halo. These radio spurs have no preferred alignment with respect to the nuclear starbust. Actually, they may be connected to the underlying starforming disk by a convective comic ray driven galactic wind. With recently obtained VLA-D observations at 6 cm, to be combined with Effelsberg data, we will be able to examine this connection in more detail.
