"Vanishing Atmospheres: TRAPPIST-1 System's Disappearing Gases"

A new study suggests that the Trappist-1 system's planets are likely barren and stripped of their atmospheres, making the existence of life in the system unlikely. The study indicates that the intense radiation from the system's red dwarf star has likely caused the planets to lose their atmospheres at a rapid rate, rendering them warm, dry rocks. This finding has significant implications for the potential habitability of planets orbiting red dwarf stars, which make up a large portion of the stars in our galaxy.
