> This paper describes the measurement of collective flow for charged
> particles in Au+Au collisions at sqrt(sNN)=200~GeV using the
> PHOBOS detector at the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC). The
> measured azimuthal anisotropy is presented over a wide range of
> pseudorapidity for three broad collision centrality classes for the first
> time at this energy. Two distinct methods of extracting the flow signal
> were used in order to reduce systematic uncertainties. The elliptic flow
> falls sharply with increasing |eta| at 200 GeV, for all the
> centralities studied, as observed for minimum bias collisions at
> sqrt(sNN)=130 GeV.
