Parton energy loss, quarkonium sequential melting and particle production from electromagnetic interactions are tools to study Quark Gluon Plasma properties. The STAR detector, with large acceptance at mid-rapidity, excellent particle identification and wide transverse momentum coverage, is able to study these probes in details. Di-electron spectra form Beam Energy Scan, measurements of reconstructed jets in Au+Au collisions and quarkonium measurements in p+p and heavy ion collisions are reported in this paper.
