Galactic tides in the Solar System within a non-axisymmetric Milky Way model adjusted to Gaia data

Context. Galactic tides are external differential forces acting on extended systems immersed in the Galactic potential. They play a key role in the dynamics of comets in the Oort cloud. Aims. We aim to establish the strength of Galactic…
