We report the coexistence of synchronized and unsynchronized states in a mutually coupled star network of nearly conservative non-identical oscillators. Generalized synchronization is observed between the central oscillator with the peripherals, and phase synchronization is found among the peripherals in weakly dissipative systems. However, the basin size of the synchronization region decreases as dissipation strength is increased. We have demonstrated these phenomena with the help of Duffing and Lorenz84 oscillators with conservative, nearly conservative, and dissipative properties. The observed results are robust against the network size.
