  Direct photon production in Au+Au collisions at $\sqrt{s_{NN}}$=200 GeV has
been measured in the $p_T$ range of 1$<$$p_T$$<$5 GeV/$c$. The yield as
acfunction of centrality is in agreement with published data of the RHIC 2002
run, and with results from a new method that explores very low mass dileptons.
The result is compared to several theoretical calculations, and it is found
that the measurement is not inconsistent with calculations including thermal
photon contributions.
