Uses blast-wave fits to pi, K, and p spectra plus measured K/pi to predict low-pT eta/pi0 ratio, finding eta-decay photon uncertainty of order 10% of direct-photon signal at pT~1 GeV/c in central Pb-Pb at 2.76 TeV.
Accounting for prompt photons in a viscous hydrodynamic model of Au+Au collisions explains the measured v2 and v3 of direct photons, with good agreement in mid-central collisions but centrality-dependent discrepancies.
