A Theoretic Review of Centrality-Dependent Direct Photon pt spectra in Au+Au Collisions at 200 GeV

Abstract
The recently published PHENIX data of direct photons at low pt from Au+Au collisions at the BNL relativestic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC) energy 200 GeV have attracted a lot of theoretic interest. Here I review our theoretical calculation which successfully reproduces the measured pt spectra of direct photons from Au+Au at different centralities over a wide pt range, in order to show a close relation between hadronic observables and those of direct photons.
