  We present the direct photon production for $1<p_{T}<10$ GeV/$c$ derived from
continuum in the dielectron invariant mass region $0.1<M_{ee}<0.3$ GeV/$c^{2}$
from one billion $\sqrt{s_{NN}}=200$ GeV Au+Au events taken in year 2010 and
2011. A clear excess in the invariant yield compared to the number of binary
collision scaled $p+p$ reference is observed in the \pt~range 1-4 GeV/$c$.
Model calculations with contributions from thermal radiation and initial hard
parton scattering are consistent within uncertainties with the direct photon
invariant yield.
