Abstract
We present the present status of the E877 studies of anisotropic trans verse how at the AGS energy. Flow is quantified by Fourier analysis of the azimuthal distributions of transverse energy and charged particle multiplicity. Additionally, the mean transverse momentum of identifie d particle spectra with respect to the reaction plane are measured nea r the beam rapidity. Analysis shows the presence of nucleon how at AGS energies and a small pion how in the direction opposite to that of th e nucleon.
