The particle azimuthal anisotropy is sensitive to the early stage of high-energy heavy ions collision and, is an observable that is affected by the QGP. The behavior of anisotropy can be explained by a hydrodynamical model at pT lower than 2GeV/c, but not at higher pT. Jet contribution becomes significantly dominant at higher pT and the effect of jet absorption in the medium is one explanation for the azimuthal anisotropy in the high pT region in non-central collisions. We will present the pT and centrality dependence of the azimuthal anisotropy of high pT (up to 8~10 GeV/c) charged hadrons in 200 GeV Au+Au collisions with RHIC-PHENIX RUN4 data. The relation of jet absorption to the azimuthal anisotropy will be discussed.
