FGK stars
Stars belonging to spectral types F, G, or K. Being most similar to the Sun (type G2), these are considered the most likely to be capable of supporting life on worlds that circle around them within their habitable zones. They are therefore the types generally selected in SETI programs that employ a targeted search.
