The PHOBOS experiment at RHIC has the unique capability of measuring particle production at very low transverse momenta. New results on low-transverse momentum invariant yields of pions, kaons, protons and antiprotons in 200 GeV Au+Au collisions are presented as a function of the collision centrality for the 50% most central events. In contrast to the results from d+Au collisions, no $m_{T}$ scaling is observed in the very low $p_{T}$ region. The low transverse momentum yields agree with extrapolations from intermediate transverse momentum measurements. For all collision centralities a flattening of the transverse momentum spectra is observed, consistent with a rapid transverse expansion of the system.
