We give the emission function of the axially symmetric Buda-Lund hydro model and present its simultaneous,] high quality fits to identified particle spectra, two-particle Bose-Einstein or HBT correlations and charged particle pseudorapidity distributions as measured by BRAHMS and PHENIX in 0-30% central, ÖsNN = 200 GeV Au+Au collisions at RHIC. The best fit is achieved when the most central region of the particle emitting volume is superheated to
T0 = 200 ± 9 MeV >= Tc = 172 ± 3 MeV, a 3s effect.
