Stellar physics
Stellar physics was the field of physics which studied phenomenon within a star. It was distinguished from quantum physics and astrophysics, in the sense that the former studied subatomic particles and the latter studied whole star systems at a time. One studying stellar physics was called a stellar physicist. ()

In 2368, when Wesley Crusher was modifying the planetary scanners, Geordi La Forge instructed him to leave enough data lines open for stellar physics. ()
