A star forest is a forest whose connected components are stars. The star arboricity st(G) of a graph G is the minimum number of star forests whose union covers all edges of G. We show that for every d-regular graph G, 1 2d 1 2d + omega;(logd). We also observe that the star arboricity of any planar graph is at most 6 and that there are planar graphs whose star arboricity is at least 5. © 1989.
