Abstract: Let mge1 be an integer and G be a graph with m edges. We say that G has an antimagic orientation if G has an orientation D and a bijection au:A(D)ightarrow1,2,cdots,m such that no two vertices in D have the same vertex-sum under au, where the vertex-sum of a vertex u in D under au is the sum of labels of all arcs entering u minus the sum of labels of all arcs leaving u. Hefetz, M"{u}tze and Schwartz [J. Graph Theory, 64: 219-232, 2010] conjectured that every connected graph admits an antimagic orientation. The conjecture was confirmed for certain classes of graphs such as dense graphs, regular graphs, and trees including caterpillars and k-ary trees. In this note, we prove that every lobster admits an antimagic orientation.
