The study of quarkonium production in relativistic heavy ion collisions provides insight into the properties of the produced medium. The lattice studies show a sequential suppression of quarkonia states when compared to normal nuclear matter; which further affirms that a full spectroscopy including bottomonium can provide us a better thermometer for the matter produced under extreme conditions in relativistic heavy ion collisions. With the completion of the STAR Electromagnetic Calorimeter and with the increased luminosity provided by RHIC in Run 6 and 7, the study of $Upsilon$ production via the di-electron channel becomes possible. We present the results on $Upsilon$ measurements in p+p collisions (from Run 6) along with the first results from Au+Au collisions (in Run 7) at $sqrt{s_{rm{NN}}} = 200$ GeV from the STAR experiment.

Measurements of bottomonium production in heavy ion and $p$$+$$p$ collisions at the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC) are presented. The inclusive yield of the three $Upsilon$ states, $Upsilon(1S+2S+3S)$, was measured in the PHENIX experiment vi a electron-positron decay pairs at midrapidity for Au$+$Au and $p$$+$$p$ collisions at $sqrt{s_{_{NN}}}=200$ GeV. The $Upsilon(1S+2S+3S)rightarrow e^+e^-$ differential cross section at midrapidity was found to be $B_{rm ee} dsigma/dy =$ 108 $pm$ 38 (stat) $pm$ 15(syst) $pm$ 11 (luminosity) pb in $p$$+$$p$ collisions. The nuclear modification factor in the 30% most central Au$+$Au collisions indicates a suppression of the total $Upsilon$ state yield relative to the extrapolation from $p$$+$$p$ collision data. The suppression is consistent with measurements made by STAR at RHIC and at higher energies by the CMS experiment at the Large Hadron Collider.

The results on J/psi pT spectra in 200 GeV p+p and Au+Au collisions at STAR with pT in the range of 3-10 GeV/c are presented. Nuclear modification factor of high-pT J/psi is found to be consistent with no suppression in peripheral Au+Au collisions an d significantly smaller than unity in central Au+Au collisions. The J/psi elliptic flow is measured to be consistent with no flow at pT < 10 GeV/c in 20-60% Au+Au collisions.
We report the measurements of $Sigma (1385)$ and $Lambda (1520)$ production in $p+p$ and $Au+Au$ collisions at $sqrt{s_{NN}} = 200$ GeV from the STAR collaboration. The yields and the $p_{T}$ spectra are presented and discussed in terms of chemical a nd thermal freeze-out conditions and compared to model predictions. Thermal and microscopic models do not adequately describe the yields of all the resonances produced in central $Au+Au$ collisions. Our results indicate that there may be a time-span between chemical and thermal freeze-out during which elastic hadronic interactions occur.
Recent measurements of jet structure modifications at RHIC and LHC highlight the importance of differential measurements to study the nature of jet quenching. Since these jet structure observables are intimately dependent on parton evolution in both the angular and energy scales, measurements are needed to disentangle these two scales in order to probe the medium at different length scales to study its characteristic properties such as the coherence length. To that effect, the STAR collaboration presents fully unfolded results of jet sub-structure observables designed to extract fundamental quantities related to the parton shower via the SoftDrop shared momentum fraction, the groomed jet radius, and the jet Mass in p+p collisions at 200 GeV as a function of jet transverse momenta. We also showcase the first measurement of iterative softdrop groomed observables for first, second and third splits with an initiator prong transverse momenta ranging from 20-25 GeV. In comparing the un-corrected data to our simulation, we are able to look at snapshots of the jet clustering history leading towards an understand of the time evolution of the parton shower. Having established the p+p baseline, we present the first measurement of the jets inherent angular structure in Au+Au collisions at 200 GeV via an experimentally robust observable the opening angle between the two leading sub-jets ($theta_{SJ}$). In Au+Au collisions at STAR, we utilize a specific di-jet selection as introduced in our previous momentum imbalance ($A_{J}$) measurement and measure both the $A_{J}$ and the recoil jet spectra differentially as a function of the angular classes based on the $theta_{SJ}$ observable. With such measurements, we probe the medium response to jets at a particular resolution scale and find no significant differences in quenching for jets of different angular scales as given by $theta_{SJ}$.
The PHENIX experiment at the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC) has measured omega meson production via leptonic and hadronic decay channels in p+p, d+Au, Cu+Cu, and Au+Au collisions at sqrt(s_NN) = 200 GeV. The invariant transverse momentum spec tra measured in different decay modes give consistent results. Measurements in the hadronic decay channel in Cu+Cu and Au+Au collisions show that omega production has a suppression pattern at high transverse momentum, similar to that of pi^0 and eta in central collisions, but no suppression is observed in peripheral collisions. The nuclear modification factors, R_AA, are consistent in Cu+Cu and Au+Au collisions at similar numbers of participant nucleons.
