Exo-Venus, Exo-Earth, Exo-Dead in the Trappist-1 System?

Since the discovery of the Trappist-1 system a number of studies have explored which of these planets are within the canonical habitable zone with Trappist-1e the most likely Exo-Earth-like of the bunch [e.g. 1,2,3,4]. At the same time they also tend to indicate that Trappist-1d is likely an exo-Venus. Using the ROCKE-3D General Circulation Model [5] we investigate whether Trappist-1d is likely to be an Exo-Venus, an Exo-Earth, or is a bare rock (Exo-Dead). We apply our previous approach to understand the climate history of Venus [6] to explore Trappist-1d.
