What kind of stars are in the Aquarius constellation?

I am doing a science project and I need to know what kind of stars are in the constellation. Like the name of the stars and the type of star, for example, White Dwarf. I can't find anything and I just need help. Thanks to anyone who knows :D|||Aquarius contains Gliese 876, a red dwarf, which was the first star discovered to be harbouring a system of planets, beyond our solar system. The third planet in the system may be a "super-earth" - a terrestrial planet of about 5 earth masses.





91 Aquarii, an orange giant, has a planet 2.5 times the size of Jupiter, a hot gas-giant, closer to the star than Mercury is to the sun.





Beta Aquarii is a yellow supergiant, Alpha Aqr is also the same type. Zeta Aqr is a binary, with a main sequence yellow dwarf, like the sun. Lambda is a red giant.





The correct answer is that every type of star is found in Aquarius, since there are also several galaxies to be seen in the constellation, and each galaxy could contain billions of stars, and trillions of planets.
