In Run 8 at RHIC, STAR significantly enhanced its forward acceptance relative to previous years with the commissioning of a new detector, the Forward Meson Spectrometer (FMS). The large geometrical acceptance of the FMS allows us to extend the forward reach of the data beyond inclusive pions accessed by modular calorimeters. The spin-1 omega is accessible to the FMS through its decay to a neutral pion and a photon. Such events can help disentangle the dynamical origins of observed large analyzing powers in the forward region, and can contribute to our knowledge of the nuclear medium by comparisons of p+p to d+Au. Here we report on the status of this analysis.
