In the IllustrisTNG model, CGM gas around z=1 galaxies mixes quickly and separates into cold inner and warm-hot outer phases within 500 Myr due to feedback, with kinematic decorrelation over 400 Myr and ion-specific phases lasting different durations.
Spatially resolved observations of z~0.1 galaxies show Mg II absorption outflow velocities are systematically higher than Hα emission velocities by ~0.4 dex while maintaining similar correlations with star formation rate and surface density.
