We present the first part of the observations made for the Continuum Halos inNearby Galaxies, an EVLA Survey (CHANG-ES) project. The aim of the CHANG-ESproject is to study and characterize the nature of radio halos, theirprevalence as well as their magnetic fields, and the cosmic rays illuminatingthese fields. This paper reports observations with the compact D configurationof the Karl G. Jansky Very Large Array (VLA) for the sample of 35 nearbyedge-on galaxies of CHANG-ES. With the new wide bandwidth capabilities of theVLA, an unprecedented sensitivity was achieved for all polarization products.The beam resolution is an average of 9.6" and 36" with noise levels reachingapproximately 6 and 30 microJy per beam for C- and L-bands, respectively(robust weighting). We present intensity maps in these two frequency bands (Cand L), with different weightings, as well as spectral index maps, polarizationmaps, and new measurements of star formation rates (SFRs). The data productsdescribed herein are available to the public in the CHANG-ES data releaseavailable at www.queensu.ca/changes. We also present evidence of a trend amonggalaxies with larger halos having higher SFR surface density, and we show, forthe first time, a radio continuum image of the median galaxy, taking advantageof the collective signal-to-noise ratio of 30 of our galaxies. This image showsclearly that a typical spiral galaxy is surrounded by a halo of magnetic fieldsand cosmic rays.
