That translates, via E = mc2 , to m = E/c2 = 3.8 × 1026 /(3 × 108 )2 = 4 × 109 kg/s. Per year, that’s 3.16 × 107 ∗ 4 × 109 = 1.26 × 1017 kg/year, or 6.3 × 10−14 M /year ...

Astronomical spectroscopy
Astronomical spectroscopy is the study of astronomy using the techniques of spectroscopy to measure the spectrum of electromagnetic radiation, including visible light, which radiates from stars and other hot celestial objects. Spectroscopy can be used to derive many properties of distant stars and galaxies, such as their chemical composition, temperature, density, mass, distance, luminosity, and relative motion using Doppler shift measurements.
