Direct photon production in Au+Au collisions at {radical}(s{sub NN})=200GeV has been measured. The result is compared to several theoretical calculations, and found that it is not inconsistent with ones including thermal radiation from QGP or jet-photon conversion process on top of a NLO pQCD expectation. The direct photon contribution in dilepton measurement is also evaluated.
