The Stratospheric Observatory for Infrared Astronomy (SOFIA) operates in the 0.3–240 micron wavelength region, and offers imaging, polarimetric and high-resolution spectroscopic capabilities that can be used for a wide range of observations relevant for stellar physics studies. We summarize the advantages of using SOFIA, list some of the studies related to stellar physics that have been accomplished, and provide an example high-resolution spectrum of a red supergiant.
