#### Abstract

Let $\cal{H}$ be a separable, infinite dimensional, complex Hilbert space. We call "an operator $\cal{T}$ acting on $\cal{H}$ has a star moment sequence supported on a set K" when there exist nonzero vectors u and v in $\cal{H}$ and a positive Borel measure ${\mu}$ such that <$T^{*j}T^ku$, v> = ${^\int\limits_{K}}\;{{\bar{z}}^j}\;{{\bar{z}}^k}\;d\mu$ for all j, $k\;\geq\;0$. We obtain a characterization to find a representing star moment measure and discuss some related properties.
