The resilience of the dusty cloud to the extreme
gravitational tidal effects so close to the black hole strongly suggest that it surrounds a dense object with a massive core, rather than being a free - floating cloud.

He also adds: «The
tidal effect on an asteroid, which rapidly rotates under the
gravitational field of a planet, can fragment these objects or release large rocks from its surface, which could then become such dangerous projectiles at a local scale as the one fell in Cheliábinsk (Russia) on February 15th 2013.»
Tidal effects and
gravitational disturbances from relatively large bodies are required to explain the sharp inner edge of Fomalhaut's debris belt, astronomers believe.
«The disc is more dense, so the
effect of the
gravitational tidal force is bigger,» says Randall.
Instead, he defines the
gravitational field in terms of the difference in the acceleration from place to place — in
effect, the
tidal force.
Hank (360), despite the equality of
gravitational forces, I agree the inequality of
tidal acceleration makes it extremely difficult to imagine it as having any
effect on any solar cycle.
The preoccupation with focusing only on the visible surface of the earth, and disconnecting the strongest
tidal and
gravitational forces in the Earth / Moon system has lead to this misunderstanding of why the lunar
tidal effects (when not considered) that produce the teleconnections seen in so many global circulation patterns leaves so many easy to answer questions.
Everything evens out in the wash so that the only
gravitational effect is
tidal.
They do not calculate body - wide
tidal forces in their paper, but look at perturbations induced by
gravitational forces directly on the inelastic material of the sun «locally focussed
tidal effects» if you will.
Should have said: This is the essence of how the overall local
effect of
gravitational forces acting on an object are reduced to the net
effect of
tidal forces in the Newtonian mechanical view.
It would also be consistent with your «stream of consciousness» musings about
tidal effects being greater deeper within celestial bodies (because the
gravitational force is less?).
