One has been found orbiting a star nearly identical to ours except older and in an orbital period of 385 days. It's a big planet though, with a radius about 60% larger and a surface gravity about twice ours. It would suck to be an aerospace engineer on this planet because flight would be challenging.

Super Earth

2Gs is probably adaptable. The article referenced a thicker atmosphere so I'd probably be more worried about surface pressure.
