Three end-member structures for each of the TRAPPIST-1 planets, assuming constant densities for ice I and liquid water (white) with ρI = 1000 kg m−3, high-pressure ice polymorphs (ρhpp = 1300 kg m−3, light gray), rock (ρr = 5000 kg m−3, dark gray) or low-density rock as indicated in Table 2 (ρr = 3300 kg m−3, dark gray, see Sect. 2.2), and iron (ρFe = 12 000 kg m−3, black), corresponding to the maximum density permitted by orbital solutions (left), the mean density (middle), and lowest density (right). The sizes of the planets and thicknesses of ice polymorph, rock, and iron layers are quantitatively accurate; but in some cases, the thickness of the outer water/ice I layer has been expanded slightly to show detail.
