We experimentally and theoretically investigate the dynamics of inhibitory coupled self-driven oscillators on a star network in which a single central hub node is connected to k peripheral arm nodes. The system consists of water-in-oil Belousov-Zhabotinsky ∼100µm emulsion drops contained in storage wells etched in silicon wafers. We observed three dynamical attractors by varying the number of arms in the star graph and the coupling strength; (i) unlocked ; uncorrelated phase shifts between all oscillators, (ii) locked ; arm-hubs synchronized in-phase with a k-dependent phase shift between the arm and central hub, and (iii) center silent; central hub stopped oscillating and the arm-hubs oscillated without synchrony. We compare experiment to theory. For case (ii), we identified a logarithmic dependence of the phase shift on star degree, and were able to discriminate between contributions to the phase shift arising from star topology and oscillator chemistry.
