Turán numbers for hypergraph star forests

Fix a graph $F$. We say that a graph is {\it $F$-free} if it does not contain $F$ as a subgraph. The {\it Turán number} of $F$, denoted $\mathrm{ex}(n,F)$, is the maximum number of edges possible in an $n$-vertex $F$-free graph. The study of Turán numbers is a central problem in graph theory. The goal of this paper is to generalize a theorem of Lidický, Liu and Palmer [{\it Electron.\ J.\ of Combin.}\ {\bf 20} (2016)] that determines $\mathrm{ex}(n,F)$ for $F$ a forest of stars. In particular, we consider generalizations of the problem to three different well-studied hypergraph settings and in each case we prove an asymptotic result for all reasonable parameters defining our "star forests".
