We present measurement of elliptic flow, v 2, for charged and identified particles at midrapidity in Au+Au collisions at $\sqrt {s_{NN} } $ = 7.7–39 GeV. We compare the inclusive charged hadron v 2 to those from transport model calculations, such as the UrQMD model, AMPT default model and AMPT string-melting model. We discuss the energy dependence of the difference in v 2 between particles and anti-particles. The v 2 of ϕ meson is observed to be systematically lower than other particles in Au+Au collisions at $\sqrt {s_{NN} } $ = 11.5 GeV.
