Subject is a kind of has definition

star celestial body A celestial object that generates energy by means of nuclear fusion at its core. To do this it must have more than about 0.08 the sun's mass. If, for instance, the planet Jupiter were some fifty to one hundred times more massive than it is, fusion reactions would transpire in its core and it would be a star. See planet.

manganese star star Star with an anomalously high Mn-Fe ratio, which show deviations from the odd-even effect for phosphorus, gallium, and yttrium.
