Temporal Evolution of the High-energy Irradiation and Water Content of TRAPPIST-1 Exoplanets

The ultracool dwarf star TRAPPIST-1 hosts seven Earth-size transiting planets, some of which could harbor liquid water on their surfaces. Ultraviolet observations are essential to measuring their high-energy irradiation and searching for photodissociated water escaping from their putative atmosphere...
