SUMMARY:The Magellanic Stream: Probing the Baryon Cycle in the Galacti
 c Halo\, Astronomy Colloquium\, Andrew Fox\, STSci
DESCRIPTION:The inflow of gas onto galaxies is a key driver of their f
 ormation and evolution.A prime local example of a gas flow is the Mage
 llanic Stream (MS)\, a massive tail of material stripped out of the Ma
 gellanic Clouds and extending for almost 200 degrees across the Southe
 rn sky. The MS appears to be fragmenting and evaporating as it interac
 ts with the hot Galactic corona\, and it remains unclear how much of i
 ts neutral gas will survive to reach the Galactic disk to fuel future 
 star formation.<br>
\nI will present recent results from an ongoing ob
 serving campaign<br>
\non the MS\, using UV (HST/COS) and optical (VLT
 /UVES) spectroscopy\,<br>
\npaying particular attention to the chemica
 l and physical conditions in the gas. <br>
