In this paper, we study α-cosymplectic manifoldMadmitting∗-Ricci tensor. First, it is shown that a∗-Ricci semisymmetric manifoldMis∗-Ricci flat and aϕ-conformally flat manifoldMis anη-Einstein manifold. Furthermore, the∗-Weyl curvature tensorW∗onMhas been considered. Particularly, we show that a manifoldMwith vanishing∗-Weyl curvature tensor is a weakϕ-Einstein and a manifoldMfulfilling the conditionRE1,E2⋅W∗=0isη-Einstein manifold. Finally, we give a characterization for α-cosymplectic manifoldMadmitting∗-Ricci soliton given as to be nearly quasi-Einstein. Also, some consequences for three-dimensional cosymplectic manifolds admitting∗-Ricci soliton and almost∗-Ricci soliton are drawn.
