  The production of D*+-(2010) mesons in ep scattering in the range of
exchanged photon virtuality 0.05 < Q^2 < 0.7 GeV^2 has been measured with the
ZEUS detector at HERA using an integrated luminosity of 82 pb-1. The decay
channels D*+ -> D0 pi+ with D0 -> K- pi+ and corresponding antiparticle decay
were used to identify D* mesons and the ZEUS beampipe calorimeter was used to
identify the scattered electron. Differential D* cross sections as functions of
Q^2, inelasticity, y, transverse momentum of the D* meson, p_T(D*), and
pseudorapidity of the D* meson, eta(D*), have been measured in the kinematic
region 0.02 < y < 0.85, 1.5 < p_T(D*) < 9.0 GeV and |eta(D*)| < 1.5. The
measured differential cross sections are in agreement with two different NLO
QCD calculations. The cross sections are also compared to previous ZEUS
measurements in the photoproduction and DIS regimes.
