Re: APOD: Seven Worlds for TRAPPIST-1 (2017 Feb 23)
With such a tight packing, I would guess tidal forces would be significant. I think we could expect one or more planets to exhibit global volcanism like Io does in the Jovian system. Will see if I can write a simulator to confirm what the forces will be!
