Multi-wavelength observations indicate that some starburst galaxies show a dominant non-thermal contribution from their central region. These active galactic nuclei (AGN)-starburst composites are of special interest, as both phenomena on their own are potential sources of highly-energetic cosmic rays and associated gamma-ray and neutrino emission. In this work, a homogeneous, steady-state two-zone multi-messenger model of the non-thermal emission from the AGN corona as well as the circumnuclear starburst region is developed and subsequently applied to the case of NGC 1068. This source is known as atypical in terms of its radio-gamma-ray correlation. In addition, it has recently also shown some first indications of high-energy neutrino emission. Here, we show that the entire spectrum of multi-messenger data – from radio to gamma-rays including the neutrino constraint – can be described very well if both, starburst and AGN corona, are taken into account. Using only a single emission region is not sufficient.
