V1298 Tau is a young pre-main-sequence star hosting four known exoplanets that are prime targets for transmission spectroscopy with current-generation instruments. This work pieces together observations from the NICER X-ray telescope, the Space Telescope Imaging Spectrograph and Cosmic Origins Spectrograph instruments aboard Hubble Space Telescope, and empirically informed models to create a panchromatic spectral energy distribution for V1298 Tau spanning 1-10⁵ Å. We describe the methods and assumptions used to assemble the panchromatic spectrum and show that despite this star's brightness, its high-energy spectrum is near the limit of present X-ray and ultraviolet observatories' abilities to characterize. We conclude by using the V1298 Tau spectrum as a benchmark for the activity saturation stage of high-energy radiation from solar-mass stars to compare the lifetime cumulative high-energy irradiation of the V1298 Tau planets to other planets orbiting similarly massive stars.
