Scientific paper

It is argued that most of the volume of the galactic disk is filled with cosmic rays, whereby electrons and positrons contribute significantly to the pressure (and energy) balance. The pair plasma and the cosmic rays escape into the halo through the galactic chimneys which have their origins in strong H II regions. The most conspicuous phenomena in the halo are caused by the jets from the (intermittently active) nucleus whose channel walls serve as cold traps.
