The direct product of a star and a path is antimagic

A graph $G$ is antimagic if there exists a bijection $f$ from $E(G)$ to $\{1,2,\dots ,\mathrm{\mid }E(G)\mathrm{\mid }\}$ such that the vertex sums for all vertices of $G$ are distinct, where the vertex sum is defined as the sum of the labels of all incident edges. Hartsfield and Ringel conjectured that every connected graph other than $K_2$ admits an antimagic labeling. It is still a challenging problem to address antimagicness in the case of disconnected graphs. In this paper, we study antimagicness for the disconnected graph that is constructed as the direct product of a star and a path.
