55 Cancri (abbreviated 55 Cnc; Bayer designation ρ1 Cancri, Rho-1 Cancri) is a nearby 6th magnitude star in the constellation Cancer. The star is a binary system. The primary component is, like our Sun, a yellow dwarf, but slightly less massive and luminous. Secondary is a distant dim red dwarf. Distance to the system is 41 light years. The brighter component is visible through binoculars or to the naked eye under very dark skies. ...more on Wikipedia about "55 Cancri"
79 Ceti (abbreviated 79 Cet) is a 7th magnitude star in the constellation of Cetus. It is a yellow subgiant ( spectral class G5 IV), a Sun-like star that has stopped hydrogen fusion in its core. This implies an age much higher than our Sun's 4.5 billion years. Eventually the outer layers of the star will expand and cool and the star will become a red giant. Currently 79 Ceti has a luminosity twice that of the Sun. ...more on Wikipedia about "79 Ceti"
83 Leonis (83 Leo) a wide binary star system in the constellation of Leo. It consist of two orange stars cooler than our Sun. The primary is a orange subgiant star, and the secondary is orange dwarf star. In 2005 a planet was announced orbiting the secondary star. ...more on Wikipedia about "83 Leonis"
Barnard's star is a star in the constellation Ophiuchus which is notable for having the largest proper motion (10.3" per year) of any star relative to the Sun. This large proper motion was discovered by the astronomer E. E. Barnard in 1916. ...more on Wikipedia about "Barnard's star"

Gliese 876 is a red dwarf star ( spectral type M4V) 15 light years from Earth in the constellation of Aquarius. It is only half the size of our Sun but it has been found to be orbited by at least two large planets which are locked in a 2:1 orbital resonance, as well as one smaller, terrestrial planet. It is so far one of only a few red dwarfs with known extrasolar planets, another being GJ 436. ...more on Wikipedia about "Gliese 876"

HD 102117 is a yellow dwarf star ( spectral type G6 V) about 130 light years from Earth in the constellation of Centaurus. Although it is cooler than our Sun it is brighter and thus more evolved. It is orbited by a recently discovered planet. ...more on Wikipedia about "HD 102117"
HD 108147 is a 7th magnitude star in the constellation of Crux. It is either a yellow-white or yellow dwarf (the line is arbitrary and the colour difference is only from classification, not real), slightly brighter and more massive than our Sun. The spectral type is F8 V or G0 V. The star is also younger than the Sun. Due to its distance, about 130 light years, it is too dim to be visible with unaided eye; with binoculars it is an easy target. However, due to its southerly location it is not visible in the northern hemisphere except for the tropics. ...more on Wikipedia about "HD 108147"
