description: Using a data sample of 980 fb$^{-1}$ collected with the Belle detector at the KEKB asymmetric-energy $e^+e^-$ collider, we study the processes of $Ξ^0_c\to Λ\bar K^{*0}$, $Ξ^0_c\to Σ^0\bar K^{*0}$, and $Ξ^0_c\to Σ^+K^{*-}$ for the first time. The relative branching ratios to the normalization mode of $Ξ^0_c\toΞ^-π^+$ are measured to be $${\cal B}(Ξ^0_c\to Λ\bar K^{*0})/{\cal B}(\xic\to Ξ^-π^+)=0.18\pm0.02({\rm stat.})\pm0.01({\rm syst.}),$$ $${\cal B}(Ξ^0_c\to Σ^0\bar K^{*0})/{\cal B}(\xic\to Ξ^-π^+)=0.69\pm0.03({\rm stat.})\pm0.03({\rm syst.}),$$ $${\cal B}(Ξ^0_c\to Σ^+K^{*-})/{\cal B}(\xic\to Ξ^-π^+)=0.34\pm0.06({\rm stat.})\pm0.02({\rm syst.}),$$ where the uncertainties are statistical and systematic, respectively. We obtain %measure the branching fractions of $Ξ^0_c\to Λ\bar K^{*0}$, $Ξ^0_c\to Σ^0\bar K^{*0}$, and $Ξ^0_c\to Σ^+K^{*-}$ to be $${\cal B}(Ξ^0_c\to Λ\bar K^{*0})=(3.3\pm0.3({\rm stat.})\pm0.2({\rm syst.})\pm1.0({\rm ref.}))\times10^{-3},$$ $${\cal B}(Ξ^0_c\to Σ^0\bar K^{*0})=(12.4\pm0.5({\rm stat.})\pm0.5({\rm syst.})\pm3.6({\rm ref.}))\times10^{-3},$$ $${\cal B}(Ξ^0_c\to Σ^+K^{*-})=(6.1\pm1.0({\rm stat.})\pm0.4({\rm syst.})\pm1.8({\rm ref.}))\times10^{-3},$$ where the uncertainties are statistical, systematic, and from ${\cal B}(\xic \to Ξ^-π^+)$, respectively. The asymmetry parameters $α(Ξ^0_c\to Λ\bar K^{*0})$ and $α(Ξ^0_c\to Σ^+K^{*-})$ are $0.15\pm0.22({\rm stat.})\pm0.04({\rm syst.})$ and $-0.52\pm0.30({\rm stat.})\pm0.02({\rm syst.})$, respectively, where the uncertainties are statistical followed by systematic.
