Abstract—An enumeration of star graphs is given which has many useful properties. For example an arbitrary prefix or suffix is connected; indeed the diameter is $O\left(n\right)$. As a consequence, there is an $O\left(n\right)$ interval broadcast algorithm. Prefixes which have $t\left(n-1\right)!$ vertices for some $t$ are especially well-behaved. The topology of, embeddings in, and algorithms for these graphs are considered, making use of the enumeration.
