The baryon cycle regulates the ability of galaxies to form stars. Most galaxies, however, are too far away to resolve their gaseous inflows and outflows. The nearby Milky Way and Magellanic Clouds offer unprecedented views of this cycle. In this talk, we will survey a tidal remnant and a galactic wind that are both removing gas from the Magellanic Clouds. Additionally, we will examine a high velocity cloud that is flowing toward the Galaxy. These spectroscopic emission- and absorption-line studies using radio, optical, and UV observations provide crucial insight on how these processes occur at greater distances where they cannot be explored in such great detail. |
