Dynamical effects of the radial galactic tide on an Oort cloud of comets for stars with different masses and varying distances from the galactic center
Marco Masi
We show that the effects of radial galactic tides alone can change the dynamics of an Oort cloud of comets around a star in a highly sensitive manner. The Oort cloud dynamics depen…
