We study the production of photons and dileptons during the pre-equilibriumGlasma stage in heavy ion collisions and discuss the implications in light ofthe PHENIX data. We find that the measured distributions of suchelectromagnetic emissions, while having some features not well understood ifhypothesized to entirely arise from a thermalized Quark-Gluon Plasma, have somequalitative features that might be described after including effects from athermalizing Glasma. The shape and centrality dependence of the transversemomentum spectra of the so-called "thermal photons" are well described. Themass and transverse momentum dependence of intermediate mass dileptons alsoagree with our estimates. The low transverse momenta from which the excessivedileptons (in low to intermediate mass region) arise is suggestive of emissionsfrom a Bose condensate. We also predict the centrality dependence of dileptonproduction. Uncertainties in the current approach and improvements in thefuture are discussed.
