Abstract

I will present an overview of the work of the "GM Galaxies" project, which explores the relationship between history of a galaxy and its observable traits. I will give three examples of our work, looking at how dwarf galaxies change their properties based on their mass assembly, the Milky Way stellar halo responds to variations in its merging history, and the circumgalactic medium of massive galaxies mediates the transition from star-forming to quiescent.
