The study of hadron spectra at high $p_{T}$ in p+p collisions provides a good test of perturbative quantum chromo-dynamic calculations (pQCD) and baseline for measurements of nuclear modification factors in Au+Au collisions. Using events triggered by the Barrel Electro-Magnetic Calorimeter, identified charged hadron transverse momentum ($p_T$) spectra are measured up to 15 GeV/$c$ at mid-rapidity ($mid ymid$ $<$ 0.5) and neutral kaon $p_T$ spectra up to 12 GeV/$c$ in p + p collisions at $sqrt{s_{NN}}$ = 200 GeV. The particle ratios of $p/pi^{+}$, $bar{p}/pi^{-}$ and $K^{pm,0}$ / $pi^{pm}$ in p + p collisions are shown and compared with next-to-leading order pQCD calculations. In central Au+Au collisions, we report nuclear modification factors ($R_{AA}$) for pion, kaon, proton and $rho$ and discuss several model calculations: color-charge dependence of jet quenching and jet conversion. Finally, centrality dependence of $R_{AA}$ at high $p_T$ ($>$ 5.5 GeV/c) for kaon are compared with that of pion in Au + Au collisions at 200 GeV.

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 $theta_{SJ}$.

In this proceedings we present STAR measurements of two particle azimuthal correlations between trigger particles at mid-rapidity ($|eta|<$ 1) and associated particles at forward rapidities (2.7 $<|eta|<$ 3.9) in p+p, d+Au and Au+Au collisions at $sq rt{s_{NN}} $= 200 GeV. Two particle azimuthal correlations between a mid-rapidity trigger particle and forward-rapidity associated particles preferably probe large-x quarks scattered off small-x gluons in RHIC collisions. Comparison of the separate d- and Au-side measurements in d+Au collisions may potentially probe gluon saturation and the presence of Color Glass Condensate. In Au+Au collisions quark energy loss can be probed at large rapidities, which may be different from gluon energy loss measured at mid-rapidity.

The PHENIX experiment has measured direct photons at $sqrt{s_{NN}}$ = 200 GeV in $p+p$, $d$+Au and Au+Au collisions. For $p_{T}$ $<$ 4 GeV/$c$, the internal conversion into $e^{+}e^{-}$ pairs has been used to measure the direct photons in Au+Au.
Azimuthal angular correlations of charged hadrons with respect to the axis of a reconstructed (trigger) jet in Au+Au and p+p collisions at $sqrt{s_{text{NN}}} = 200 text{GeV}$ in STAR are presented. The trigger jet population in Au+Au collisions is b iased towards jets that have not interacted with the medium, allowing easier matching of jet energies between Au+Au and p+p collisions while enhancing medium effects on the recoil jet. The associated hadron yield of the recoil jet is significantly suppressed at high transverse momentum ($p_{text{T}}^{text{assoc}}$) and enhanced at low $p_{text{T}}^{text{assoc}}$ in 0-20% central Au+Au collisions compared to p+p collisions, which is indicative of medium-induced parton energy loss in ultrarelativistic heavy-ion collisions.

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 f urther 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.
