Compositions and interior structures of planets TRAPPIST-1b through e. Panel A: representative possible interior structures of planets b through e, with layers of liquid water (dark blue), high-pressure ice polymorphs(light blue), rock (brown), and iron (black). Planets d and e are far enough from the TRAPPIST-1 star topotentially have a layer of solid ice (white) on their surfaces. Panels B–E: compositions of planets b through e, where the colour-coding indicates the volume fraction of H2 O permitted in each planet (ϕH2O = ϕiw + ϕhpp) as a functionof its volume fraction of iron (ϕFe) and rock (ϕr). Black stars indicate the cases shown in panel A. Planets b and d are substantially more H2 O-rich than planets c and e.
