In a previous paper, we showed that Earth-type habitable planets around 47 UMa are in principle possible if a distinct set of conditions is warranted. These conditions include that the Earth-type planets have successfully formed and are orbitally stable and, in addition, that the 47 UMa star–planet system is relatively young ([lsim ]6 Gyr). We now extend this study by considering Earth-like planets with different land/ocean coverages. This study is again based on the so-called integrated system approach, which describes the photosynthetic biomass production taking into account a variety of climatological, biogeochemical and geodynamical processes. This approach implies a special characterization of the habitable zone defined for a distinct type of planet. We show that the likelihood of finding a habitable Earth-like planet on a stable orbit around 47 UMa critically depends on the percentage of the planetary land/ocean coverage. The likelihood is significantly increased for planets with a very high percentage of ocean surface (‘water worlds’).

Linear Viscoelastic

This paper proposes a new approach for computing the real eigenvalues of a multiple-degrees-of-freedom viscoelastic system in which we assume an exponentially decaying damping. The free-motion equations lead to a nonlinear eigenvalue problem. If the system matrices are symmetric, the eigenvalues allow for a variational characterization of maxmin type, and the eigenvalues and eigenvectors can be determined very efficiently by the safeguarded iteration, which converges quadratically and, for extreme eigenvalues, monotonically. Numerical methods demonstrate the performance and the reliability of the approach. The method succeeds where some current approaches, with restrictive physical assumptions, fail.
