Direct $\gamma$ invariant yields as a function of transverse momentum for 9 centrality selections and minimum bias Au+AU collisions at $\sqrt{s_{NN}}$ = 200 GeV. Data with no errors represents 90% confidence level upper limit. The bin range is not an uncertainty in the x-axis because the actual uncertainty by having the finite bin width is corrected for by the bin-shift correction. These bins were constructed using the corrected finite values as centers.
