Unraveling the evolutionary paths of galaxies remains a key focus in astronomy. Over the past
decade, the circumgalactic medium (CGM) has been recognised as a pivotal component in this
research, serving as a record keeper of the processes of accretion and outflows, which move gas to
and from the interstellar medium. In this thesis, we explore the CGM properties of galaxies, linking
these properties to their stellar properties and using simulations to guide the interpretation of the
observational findings.Unraveling the evolutionary paths of galaxies remains a key focus in astronomy. Over the past
