Description
Azimuthal anisotropy $v_2$ is one of the key observables in order to study the properties of the Quark Gluon Plasma in the early stage of heavy ion collisions. Systematic measurements of $v_2$ as a function of transverse momentum, centrality as well as system size are important to further constrain the partonic equation of state and
transport coefficients.
In this talk, I will review the latest results of $v_2$ for inclusive and identified hadrons at RHIC, and discuss what we have learned.
