In this paper, we propose a novel method to study flavor-changing neutral currents in the e + e - → D *0 and e + e -→ B s * transitions, tuning the energy of e + e -- collisions to the mass of the narrow vector resonance D *0 or B s * . We present a thorough study of both short-distance and long-distance contributions to e + e - → D *0 in the Standard Model and investigate possible contributions of new physics in the charm sector. This process, albeit very rare, has clear advantages with respect to the D 0 → e + e - decay: the helicity suppression is absent, and a richer set of effective operators can be probed. Finally, implications of the same proposal for B s * are also discussed.
