Two Earth-size Planets and an Earth-size Candidate Transiting the Nearby Star HD 101581

Michelle Kunimoto, Zifan Lin, Sarah Millholland +43

We report the validation of multiple planets transiting the nearby ( pc) K5V dwarf HD 101581 (GJ 435, TOI-6276, TIC 397362481). The system consists of at least two Earth-…
