\(A\) denotes a class of functions \(f(z)=z+ \sum_{n=2}^\infty a_nz^n\) which are analytic in the unit disc \(U=\{z: |z|<1\}\). Let \(\alpha\) and \(\beta\) be such that \(0\leq \alpha<1\) and \(0<\beta\leq 1\); the function \(f(z)\) in \(A\) is said to be starlike of order \(\alpha\) and type \(\beta\) if \[ \Biggl|\frac{zf'(z)}{f(z)}-1 \Biggl/ \Biggl[2\beta\Biggl( \frac{zf'(z)}{f(z)} -\alpha\Biggr)- \Biggl( \frac{zf'(z)}{f(z)} -1\Biggr) \Biggr]\Biggr|<1 \tag \(\dagger\) \] holds for some \(\alpha,\beta\) and all \(z\) in \(U\). The class of starlike functions of order \(\alpha\) and type \(\beta\) is denoted by \(S^*(\alpha,\beta)\). Furthermore, if \(0\leq \alpha<1\) and \(0<\beta \leq1/2\) then \(S_0^*(\alpha,\beta)\) denotes the class of starlike functions of the form \(f(z)= a_1z- \sum_{n=2}^\infty a_nz^n\) \((a_1>0\); \(a_n\geq 0)\) which satisfy \((\dag)\) for some \(\alpha,\beta\) and all \(z\) in \(U\). The class \(S_0^* (\alpha,\beta)\) was studied by S. Owa. In this paper the subclass \(S^*_{0,p_k} (\alpha,\beta)\) of \(S_0^* (\alpha,\beta)\) \((0\leq \alpha<1\), \(0<\beta\leq 1/2)\) consisting of functions of the form \[ f(z)= a_1z- \sum_{i=2}^k \frac{\beta(1-\alpha) a_1p_i} {(1-\beta)i- \alpha\beta} z^i- \sum_{n=k+1}^\infty a_nz^n, \] where \(a_1>0\), \(a_n\geq 0\), \(0\leq p_i\leq 1\), and \(0\leq \sum_{i=2}^k p_i\leq 1\), is studied, and a number of coefficient, convexity, and radius of convexity results are obtained. A modified Hadamard product \((f_1* f_2)(z)\) for functions \(f_1\) and \(f_2\) in \(S^*_{0,p_k} (\alpha_1,\beta_1)\) and \(S^*_{0,q_k} (\alpha_2, \beta_2)\), respectively, is also studied.
