The mass and pT dependences of di-lepton v2 could give very rich information on specific stages of the fireball expansion
Measurements of v2 of thermal di-lepton could distinguish partonic and hadronic radiation sources

Thermal Radiation Workshop Xiangli Cui
For each centrality:
1. Reconstruct e+e- pairs after π0 decay in the STAR simulators.
2. Same acceptance cuts applied as in data.
3. obtain e+e- pairs v2
Di-electron v2 is consistent with simulated results for different centralities in Au+Au at 200 GeV.

Summary
For Mee <1.1 GeV/c2, the simulated cocktail v2 are consistent with the measured di-electron v2
For Mee <0.14 GeV/c2, the simulated e+e- v2 are consistent with the measured di-electron v2 in different centralities.
