Rapidity distributions of protons from central $^{197}$Au + $^{197}$Au collisions measured by the E895 Collaboration in the energy range from 2 to 8 AGeV at the Brookhaven AGS are presented. Longitudinal flow parameters derived using a thermal model including collective longitudinal expansion are extracted from these distributions. The results show an approximately linear increase in the longitudinal flow velocity, $<betagamma>_{L}$, as a function of the logarithm of beam energy.

Directed flow measurements for $Lambda$-hyperons are presented and compared to those for protons produced in the same Au+Au collisions (2, 4, and 6 AGeV; $b < 5 - 6$ fm). The measurements indicate that $Lambda$-hyperons flow consistently in the same
direction and with smaller magnitudes than those of protons. Such a strong positive flow [for $Lambda$s] has been predicted in calculations which include the influence of the $Lambda$-nucleon potential. The experimental flow ratio $Lambda$/p is in qualitative agreement with expectations ($sim 2/3$) from the quark counting rule at 2 AGeV but is found to decrease with increasing beam energy.
We have measured the sideward flow of neutral strange ($K^0_s$) mesons in 6 AGeV Au + Au collisions. A prominent anti-flow signal is observed for an impact parameter range (b $lesssim 7$ fm) which spans central and mid-central events. Since the $K^0_
s$ scattering cross section is relatively small in nuclear matter, this observation suggests that the in-medium kaon vector potential plays an important role in high density nuclear matter.
Source images are extracted from two-particle correlations constructed from strange and non-strange hadrons produced in 6 AGeV Au + Au collisions. Very different source images result from pp vs p$Lambda$ vs $pi^-pi^-$ correlations. These observations
suggest important differences in the space-time emission histories for protons, pions and neutral strange baryons produced in the same events.
Proton elliptic flow is studied as a function of impact-parameter $b$, for two transverse momentum cuts in 2 - 6 AGeV Au + Au collisions. The elliptic flow shows an essentially linear dependence on b (for $1.5 < b < 8$ fm) with a negative slope at 2
AGeV, a positive slope at 6 AGeV and a near zero slope at 4 AGeV. These dependencies serve as an important constraint for discriminating between various equations of state (EOS) for high density nuclear matter, and they provide important insights on the interplay between collision geometry and the expansion dynamics. Extensive comparisons of the measured and calculated differential flows provide further evidence for a softening of the EOS between 2 and 6 GeV/nucleon.
Rapidity-odd directed flow($v_1$) measurements for charged pions, protons and antiprotons near mid-rapidity ($y=0$) are reported in $sqrt{s_{NN}} =$ 7.7, 11.5, 19.6, 27, 39, 62.4 and 200 GeV Au + Au collisions as recorded by the STAR detector at the
Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC). At intermediate impact parameters, the proton and net-proton slope parameter $dv_1/dy|_{y=0}$ shows a minimum between 11.5 and 19.6 GeV. In addition, the net-proton $dv_1/dy|_{y=0}$ changes sign twice between 7.7 and 39 GeV. The proton and net-proton results qualitatively resemble predictions of a hydrodynamic model with a first-order phase transition from hadronic matter to deconfined matter, and differ from hadronic transport calculations.
