Dileptons, as an electromagnetic probe, are crucial to study the properties
of a Quark-Gluon Plasma (QGP) created in heavy ion collisions. We calculated
the invariant mass spectra and the anisotropic emission of thermal dielectrons
from Au+Au collisions at the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC) energy
sNN​​=200~GeV based on EPOS3. This approach provides a realistic
(3+1)-dimensional event-by-event viscous hydrodynamic description of the
expanding hot and dense matter with a very particular initial condition, and a
large set of hadron data and direct photons (besides v2​ and v3​ !) can
be successfully reproduced. Thermal dilepton emission from both the QGP phase
and the hadronic gas are considered, with the emission rates based on Lattice
QCD and a vector meson model, respectively. We find that the computed invariant
mass spectra (thermal contribution + STAR cocktail) can reproduce the measured
ones from STAR at different centralities. Different compared to other model
predictions, the obtained elliptic flow of thermal dileptons is larger than the
STAR measurement referring to all dileptons. We observe a clear centrality
dependence of thermal dilepton not only for elliptic flow v2​ but also for
higher orders. At a given centrality, vn​ of thermal dileptons decreases
monotonically with n for 2≤n≤5.Comment: 10pages, 12fig
