First sentence: Chemodynamical evolutionary models for the evolution of galaxies attempt to combine physical links between major galactic components: the dark matter through the gravitational potential, the dissipative interstellar medium that contains multiple thermal gas phases, and dynamically collisionless stars, which are sources of energy through radiation, stellar winds, and supernovae (see, e.g., Larson, 1974; Hensler, 1987; Berczik, 1999).
