We present recent STAR results on photoproduction in ultra-peripheral relativistic heavy ion collisions. In these collisions the impact parameter of the beam particles is larger than the sum of their nuclear radii, so that they interact via…

Two-particle high-$p_T$ triggered correlations in $Cu+Cu$ and $Au+Au$ collisions at $\sqrt{s_{NN}}$ = 62 $GeV$ and $\sqrt{s_{NN}}$ = 200 $GeV$ in STAR at RHIC are presented. The $N_{part}$, $p_T^{associated}$, and $p_T^{trigger}$ dependence…
Light nuclei collective flow is an important probe for understanding their production mechanisms in heavy-ion collisions. The STAR collaboration has reported that the atomic mass number ($A$) scaling of light nuclei elliptic flow $v_2$ is…
The deuteron binding energy is only 2.2 MeV. At the same time, its yield in Pb+Pb collisions at $\sqrt{s_{NN}} = $2.76 TeV corresponds to a thermal yield at the temperature around 155 MeV, which is too hot to keep deuterons bound. This…
Studying hyper-nuclei yields and their collectivity can shed light on their production mechanism as well as the hyperon-nucleon interactions. Heavy-ion collisions from the RHIC beam energy scan phase II (BES-II) provide an unique…
