What type of star is aquila?

Alpha Centauri the biggest start of the 9 star of Centaurus Constellation. The 3rd brightest star in the sky; also known as Rigil Kent or Rigil Kentaurus. It is a yellow main-sequence star of the same spectral class (G2 V) as the sun and of about the same size and mass; its apparent magnitude is −0.26. _______________________________ Alpha Centauri is the brightest by visual magnitude, meaning that it LOOKS brightest; this is because it is the 2nd closest star to the Sun. (Proxima Centauri, the nearest, is an invisibly-dim red dwarf.) But as noted above, Alpha Centauri is really a quite ordinary star.The brightest star in Centaurus by absolute magnitude is the unnamed star HD119796, which is over 11000 light years away. At that distance, it is at the edge of naked-eye visiblilty.Beta Centarui, also called Hadar, is the 2nd brightest star in Centaurus by absolute magnitude. It is over 100 times further away than Alpha Centauri at 525 light years distance. But it is also the 2nd brightest in terms of visual magnitude.
